wow fingers puppets, your ideas are endless sethsgran.i need to get my craftying bug back.

my parents used to sell finger puppet's in there shop, they flew out the door, everyone loved them. They were only simple felt animal ones and weren't very much a few pence each £1 maybe.

they would be excellent as little stocking fillers, or extra items to sell at craft fayres for those how love making there felt craft's.

Might not have all the ones you need but you could check out Ikea for finger puppets. http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/90159279

The bag goes to church with him every week and is useful also when mummy has appointment. She has pencils, paper, book and finger puppets. All quiet toys for church and appointments and it keeps him happy

Such a brilliant idea, might have a go at these

Just had a thought you could theme one of these, eg Hungry caterpillar on the outside with all food images inside.

sethsgran thanks for all the links and ideas i was having a discussion with a friend today and we both want a gruffalo story sack so will get on with that xx

That sounds great LJM I'm sure you will have fun with it. Are you making 1 to share or 2. If you shared 1, like library system, then you could make another sack for another book.

Check out this idea for your sack ..http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Knitted-Toy-Teaching-Resource-Gruffalo-5-Finger-Puppets-/250766202137?pt=UK_Crafts_Knitting_Crochet_EH&hash=item3a62d49519 I'm sure you could make these. I am going to make them for my grandson a pattern can easily be adapted I'm sure
