    Btw, I’m currently reading The Hobbit to my 5yo before bed and she fucking loves it.

    Now she want a Smaug teddy… If anyone have this somewhere, I’m interested.

      You can get pattern for making a plush smaug yourself of etsy for relative little money. If you don’t know how to use it you might have somebody in your social circle who could help you out.

      Generic plush dragons should be easy to find in the Internet, I saw at least ons of Amazon (tough there hopefully are better options).

      When I was a child (5ish) my mum and I sewed a little dragon plush together. It was too cute to be smaug and I hadn’t read the Hobbit yet but I love it. Making it was fun too, I have no idea how my mum figured it all out. The suggestion I saw with a pattern seems good but I also wanted to add that for me personally being involved in making my cuddly toy was great and if your child is interested in sewing or just generally being creative (which seems likely) that could be a great experience for your child.
