Halloween
Finger Puppets
Boo!
Boo!
Everyone enjoys the Fall season and the anticipation of Halloween.
Finger puppets are a good activity for little ones to begin to interact with some Halloween characters. It's never too early the start thinking about Halloween especially if you are making something for your little ones.
I like to use Altiod tins as a finger puppet to keep my finger puppets safe and sound in their "little houses" after playtime has ended. The young child can always find their finger puppets when they are placed into their little house.
These have a simple pumpkin on the top to identify the correct container.
A little orange jack-o-lantern with a big smile is always around during Halloween. Black bats are a favorite at this time of year, but with a friendly little face. Ghosts that say "Boo!" can't be left out of this group. Finally a cute little brown owl that says, "Whoo! " rounds out this little group.
Finger Puppets are a great activity to take on an airplane, in the car on a long trip or just at home. They are wonderful for language development and communication skills. Fine motor skills are developed when each finger puppet is being placed on different fingers of each hand. Color recognition is developed with the variety of bright colors. Story telling can be incorporated with these Halloween friends in everyday play.
Today I linked up with Forever in 5th Grade for Show and Tell Tuesday Fall is Here.
Stephanie has some great pictures of her cute puppies. Check them out.
Enjoy the fall season with family and friends!
