Puppets are fun to make and take very little time or materials. I have created two recently.
The first one is a little penguin finger puppet – Mina used to love Pingu, though now George is a favourite. The pattern came from http://www.innerchildcrochet.com
The larger one is from a link Petrina sent to me: http://gosyo.co.jp/english/pattern/eHTML/ePDF/1101/3w/amikomo-7_Cleaning_Mitt.pdf — I modified it, of course.
