A Puppy Craft and Fingerpuppets

I HAD to make these finger puppets from Widia’s Etsy Shop.  Storytime Katie featured them on her blog a few years ago and I stumbled across them while looking for puppy songs and fingerplays.

I am super pumped about how awesomely they turned out.  The pattern was very easy to follow and produced some epically great finger puppets.  I will definitely be back to the Floral Blossom shop when I need some new finger puppets.

The craft we did to go along with this was a puppy hand puppet out of paper plates.  I’ve been making our crafts a little more interactive if I can.  I want kids to get some use out of them besides just hanging them on the fridge.

Here’s my puppy.  I believe his name is Alex – all the kids in Wednesday storytime were naming their puppies.  My favorite was a little boy who named his Prego.  :D
