finger puppets

my dylan is a massive fan of caillou.

so big that in one of the episodes where caillou made finger puppets

he took off the caps from his markers

and said that those were his finger puppets!

(ingenuity at 2 years old makes this mommy proud!)

so what did this not-so-very-crafty-mommy do?

research online for a DIY finger puppets, of course!

i found these gorgeous patterns at an etsy store

very nice, right?

yeah... no.  i didn't get to make these.

we instead ended up making these finger puppets instead!

*pix from original DIY instruction*

the actual instructions for this DIY called for construction paper

but we decided to use foam sheets instead

and with the help of the glue gun

we were able to create the base!

the hubby who has a knack for art
did the work on the drawing

and we ended up with the chicken!

we also made the elephant and plan on making more.

for now, it's a great small project

and the little man couldn't be happier!
