The crochet umbrella Amigurumi is part of the weather sensory cube for babies.
Since I made the umbrella for one face of the sensory cube, I made the umbrella as flat as possible but of course, you could think about making a round bottom and keeping the umbrella round.
Even though I only stuffed my umbrella with polyfill, you can add a little squeaking toy for extra fun!
