      It looks like fabric scraps roughly stuffed with fluff. With a little help/guidance, a five year old could definitely make this. Working with needle and thread isn’t some archaic lost knowledge, lol. I’ve found that if we have faith in them and let them try stuff, kids can do all kinds of stuff we don’t think they should be able to.

      What did 5 year olds do 43 years ago when they were done playing outside? I’ll tell you it’s not playing on their phones

      It was also a very valuable skill to teach your children sewing since clothing wasn’t as cheap as it was now.

      Just because something is beyond your capability doesn’t mean you get to drag people down to your level …

      Eh, maybe improbable without help, but I was hand-sewing clothing for my stuffed animals around 7 years old with no assistance so it’s not crazy to think a kid ahead of the curve could do it at 5

      Hilarious that Diplomjodler3 chose this as the way to realize he has no demonstrable skills and a five-year-old child just outskilled him. 🤣

      Hey buddy, if it helps, I bet you could kick a little kid’s ass at videogames.
