DIY Felt Gruffalo Finger Puppets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sooo,  I made this fun Gruffalo dress-up apron for my kids and then realized, I needed some more characters to really let them re-tell the story in full Gruffalo fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n

Since we don’t have a ton of storage space in the house, I decided that some cute little felt finger puppets would fit nicely into a pocket on the apron and thus – the Gruffalo character finger puppets were born!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will need:<\/u><\/b> felt, fabric paint, scissors and something to sew them together (last ditch effort, just glue the outsides, but I do have faith that the majority of our readers know how to do a simple straight stitch!)<\/p>\n\n\n

After I put the kids to bed, I opened the Gruffalo book and free-handed my version of the characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

REMEMBER – we will never be able to replicate the talent of Axel Scheffler <\/em>and we don’t need to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our children really don’t mind imperfections. I PROMISE!<\/p>\n\n\n

When they were almost dry (I was impatient and smudged a few), I cut the backs like this and straight-stitched up the edges with an opening at the bottom for their little fingers. Ta DA! That’s it!<\/p>\n\n\n
