All the arms and legs have buttonholes so you can switch them around onto the other stuffies. I also made a puppy and panda. Each one is so cute with little details. Henry will now have something to practice buttoning and unbuttoning.
I left off the eyes and mouths on the panda and puppy. I was about to do that on miniature Henry, but he kept asking where the eyes and mouth were. I complied to keep him happy.
I didn’t make a tutorial, but the basic idea is to cut rectangles to make a big stuffed rectangle. Sew on details to the front rectangle. Keep the seam allowances exposed and since it’s felt, it won’t fray. The key to sewing a rectangle with exposed seams is to not sew all the way to the end. Start 1/4″ in and stop 1/4″ from the end. You could make so many funny characters!

When little children draw people the eyes and mouth are usually pretty prominent, I guess that's why your lad wanted features on the mini him. (kids don't always get artistic licence do they?!)
Anyway, I agree, the little face is lovely.
