Need a last-minute gift idea for toddlers? Last Christmas, Caleb, Eli and I spent a snowy afternoon crafting these little animal finger puppets for my then two-year-old nephew. Use your pinkie finger as a pattern for toddler fingers and cut out two pieces of felt for each animal. Hand sew using a running stitch around the outer edge - don't forget to tuck in any ears as you go. Add embellishments with glue and a felt tip permanent marker. This gift is fun for little ones and can be a sweet memory of afternoon Christmas crafting . . .

Hi, Ruth!
Good to hear from you - glad you liked the puppets. I handstitched them with a running stitch around the outside edges (being sure to catch the ears that I tucked inside). I glued the trunk on the elephant and the spots on the cow. They really were great fun to do!
Have a lovely week as well -
These are adorable. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
