I searched and searched and couldn't find what I wanted so I made them. I got the actual purple bag from "Michaels" $1 each! I used hard felt & cut the shapes, glue guned it, google eyes and finished with puff paint on the edges. Just some tips - *if I had time I would have glued and put a few hand stiches on each piece, because over time the glue has come off. *go easy on the puff paint - the thinner the line, the better it looks. I printed the tags off the Nick Jr website...there are a ton of them! Hope you post your pics too! We had a blast doing this party!

Hi Erica - the purple bags were $1.00 at Michales, but I had to have them ship from a bunch of stores to get this many. Be careful about the purples because some batches they had were a little off. I ended up ordering extra and taking the ones that didn't match back. I made the eyes, brows, and mouth with felt, then traced with puff paint, and added google eyes. I hot glued, but if I do it again I would add a few hand stiches as well to make them hold better.
