I love your Busytown birthday and am planning one for my little girl who is enamored with all the Richard Scarry books. I was wondering is you’d be willing to share the pattern for lowly worm? Thanks.

I came upon your site today doing a search for Busytown birthday ideas. My son will turn 3 in November and is completely crazy about the books, the show, etc… I swear we’ve read most of the books already. I actually was searching for vintage Budytown toys. I know my younger siblings had some when we were kids. I am hoping my mom saved them…especially the puzzletown sets. Your blog is beautiful and I am super impressed by your sewing skills. Wow. Thank you for sharing. Your photography is great too. Cheers!

Thank you for an awesome job and all the information!

Thanks Val! I sewed the mouths on, I think with just one big stitch from the end of the mouth to the center seam on both sides. I didn’t follow the directions exactly since I was making so many. I sewed strips of the tan, green and black felt together first, and then cut out the whole pattern rather than making individual bodies, shirts and feet.

What a great job you and your husband did. Thank you for all the great ideas! I found a copy of the make it book and am going to try making Lowly even though I’m not a sewer. Did you use a marker to draw the mouth or did you sew it?

I stumbled across your blog because I’m planning a Busytown birthday party for my 3-yr old son. I LOVE the photos and you obviously did an amazing job! I scoured the notes but it doesn’t look like you posted the pattern for the Lowly Worm. Are you able to do so? I’d also love to hear about activities that you did during the party for the kids – I’m trying to come up with a “mystery” that the kids can solve together. Thanks for your ideas and the beautiful pics!
