In most instances 'crafting' in my world has been for the amusement of adults, but on rare occasions crafting can actually be for kids. I made these little guys for baby Nathan to celebrate his very first birthday.
They are finger puppets that resemble the characters from Oliver Jeffers wonderful book The Way Back Home. I don't know a lot about children, but the moms I know claim I have great taste in children's books; Oliver Jeffers is one of my favourite authors.The puppets were inspired by a recent etsy find - Hello Clementine's and her beautiful finger puppet designs. They were a lot of fun to make, and I especially enjoyed attempting embroidery on their little faces.
You do have excellent taste in kids book :) And we adore our finger puppets!!!
