Here are the finger puppets I made for him - you can order your own for Christmas delivery individually or as a set from my shop. International delivery is cheap because they are light and usually fit in a letter envelope.
The very popular Humpty Dumpty:
 |
| Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. |
 |
| Oh no! Humpty Dumpty had a great fall! |
The very silly nonsense characters in Hey Diddle Diddle:
 |
| The cat playing the fiddle? The laughing dog? Cow jumping over the moon? And the dish running away with the spoon? Super silly indeed! |
Hickory Dickory Dock:
 |
| The clock and mouse |
The clock's hands are sewn in a way that make them moveable — which I hope will be useful when he starts learning to tell time.
And finally the rhyme that everybody sings to, Three Blind Mice:
 |
| Three Blind Mice |
Seeing the entire collection of puppets together before wrapping it up brings warm memories of when I learned these rhymes in school. I can't wait to make many more nursery rhyme puppets for my son, Halford, when he's a little older!
Don't forget you can buy these handmade felt finger puppets for your own little ones from my shop. Remember, 50% of profits will go to charity.
