Finger puppets at the orphanage

These are some of the finger puppets that the kids at the orphanage came up with last Friday. I had sewn the puppets and the decorated them as they wished. Some of the kids really got into it and would have made more. I was especially pleased as one kid with very little concentration planned and made his puppet from start to finish by himself.

Brazilian flag

We made these Brazilian flags with the kids at the orphanage. The small flags are simply cut and glued from coloured paper and the big flag is painted on fabric. I painted the kids' hands with different colours using textile paint and they painted the flag with their hands. They thought it was great fun (all ages enjoyed this) and I love the way it came out! :)

Cute pegs

I got the idea for these cute pegs from this creative blog. I prepared these four and we made lots more with the kids at the orphanage where I volunteer (I do crafting with the kids once a week). The material is EVA and I used a black permanent marker for drawing the eyes, mouths etc.

The kids at the orphanage loved these and asked for more. Next week we'll decorate pens and I'll come up with something else from the same material for them.
