Walking Dilly Puppet


This was yesterday's craft project for our Dilly Week at school. This project was originally from Family Fun Magazine and the Family Fun Crafts book. We simply turned them into little Dilly finger puppets. Kids can put their fingers into his legs and make him walk around. Later today I will type up the directions and add it to Dilly's Activity Pages, which you can find on my website. I will post more of our projects as the week goes by. Today we're doing something with tissue boxes! I hope you enjoy seeing them. Go Dilly!

  3. Very cute. I hope you're keeping track of all of these. You should make an accompaning book or site with all of your fun crafts. Jan Brett does this and as I teacher, I love to find resources that go along with books.

    BTW, my word verification is "readmo." I like that - like "read more." So appropriate!

  6. Rena, love the Dilly craft projects. In fact, the craft projects are what got me interested in watching the book trailer then going to Amazon and adding the book to my wishlist. I will be printing out some of the activity pages for my daughters (7 & 4). I agree with the comment that you ought to reference the activity pages for teachers. I am a former preschool teacher and not only could a teacher use Dilly as the main theme and create a whole week of activities surrounding the book; but also Dilly could be incorporated into a career week (my 7yo is doing this at school).

    I do have a couple of ideas for other crafts or ways to play up the book--don't know how well they would work. You know where to find me (Messy Mommy: aka Jenny Cook Widner aka Jenny Rose)
