Felt elephant finger puppets
These little guys were so easy to whip up! I wish I had used a stiffer felt, though, because they flop a bit when they’re on my fingers. Oh well, elephants are a bit droopy anyway, right?
Two Little Elephants
Two little elephants standing in a row.
Two little trunks waving hello.
“Oh”, said an elephant.
“It’s time to go”.
One little elephant standing in a row.
one little trunk waving hello.
“Hey”, said the elephant.
“Where’d he go?”
An Elephant Goes Like This
An elephant goes like this and that. (stomp feet)
He’s terribly big,(hands up high)
And he’s terribly fat.(hands out wide)
He has no fingers(wiggle fingers)
And he has no toes,(hold out your foot)
But goodness gracious, what a nose!(wiggle finger like a trunk)
The Elephant’s Trunk
The elephant carries a great big trunk;
He never packs it with clothes;
It has no lock and it has no key,
But he takes it wherever he goes.
The Elephant
The elephant has a trunk for a nose,
And up and down is the way it goes;
He wears such a saggy, baggy hide;
Do you think two elephants would fit inside?
Love your elephants! Adorable!
Did you cut them out yourself? Or have a diecut for them?
Btw, welcome to Flannel Friday!
Thanks for the warm welome and the suggestions! I cut them myself – usually I refer to some clip art and sketch what I want before cutting just to be safe.
We have a very similar diecut and I was wondering the same thing… such a clever idea!!
super cute! welcome to #FF! multipurpose objects are awesome.
Ooooh, these are precious. You could also use them in an adaptation of “Two Little Blackbirds” if you wanted to!
I think those elephants are great! I bet the kids got a kick out of them!
Those are such adorable elephant finger puppets! I think kids will get a kick out of them.
Too cute!
I love the finger trunks! So cute. That would make a good craft for the kids to take home along with the rhyme.
They’re so adorable!
Love this! Did you make up the poem too? So perfect for Preschoolers … Wish I had some but my kids are a tad too old!
