For my son’s third birthday he was keen to expand his Octonaut collection. The only Octonauts missing in his collection were Tunip and the Vegimals. Well, unfortunately, when I went to buy his present I couldn’t find the Vegimals anywhere! After some online research it seems the Vegimals are extremely difficult to source in Australia, so, I decided to make them instead. Granted, the boys can’t take them in the bath like their other Octonaut toys, but I think they sure look cute and they are pleased with them which is all that matters.

So here is the pattern to make Tunip and his cute purple Vegimal friend.

I hope you enjoy!
