Thanksgiving Finger Puppets

When my daughter was 6-1/2, we made finger puppets for Thanksgiving. I made the hair, bodies and clothing. Claire choose colors for the yarn hair and the Indian girl's headband and beads. She drew the mouths with a felt pen.

To research, I took Claire to the library and introduced her to the Research desk. Together we looked up Mayflower pilgrim and Native American dress in the year 1621. Copied drawings.

Glad I saved them.This is how I decorate the table for Thanksgiving. Sweet memories.

Today I sent these photos to Claire, 28, asked if she remembers making these finger puppets. She replied:

"Of course I remember! So many amazing memories with you ❤️❤️ I want to have those forever!!"

Claire is such a lovely name. It's my stedaughter's middle name. I'm so glad that your daughter acknowledges and appreciates these memories.

Claire means "clear and bright" in French. She loves her name.

I'm curious what you used for the bodies? I'm thinking toilet paper rolls would work? They are adorable!

@Jama765

To make them stand up, I stuffed the bodies with tissue paper.

That is one of the best things about having adult kids, remember all the fun stuff from their childhood.
