This week we did not do formal preschool. We spent the week baking pies, visiting family, and being grateful for our blessings. We did color some printables from
First-School. We did the letter S and Thanksgiving turkeys. Since Christmas is just around the corner I spent some time finishing some
Brown Bear, Brown Bear finger puppets. I'm really proud of how they turned out!
The bear was my first. I made a pattern by tracing my finger and then giving about a quarter inch allowance on both sides. They fit my finger and my husband's fingers too. I started putting them together with hot glue, but I couldn't get my sewing needle through it, so I switched to using felt glue (which looked and smelled the same as Elmers glue).
I glued the ears to the back piece and embroidered the face to the front piece. After doing those things I sewed around the edges. Lastly, I hot glued the eyes on -- who doesn't love googly eyes? Finished.
I used slightly changed shapes for the sheep, fish, and horse. After getting past the learning curve they were really easy to throw together. I hope my toddler enjoys them this Christmas.
