Puppet Show

First, I bought this:


Then, I bought this:


When you put these together, you get this:


It's fun playing with finger puppets. All you need is some imagination and your children's hands to make it work. My children enjoyed playing but poor mummy has to crack her head to think of stories with land and sea animals as characters.


Well, if my children are happy, I really don't mind thinking a little more. That's motherhood, isn't it? So, if you are thinking how to entertain your children, consider putting up a show for them or get them to put up a show for you!


PS: Puppets and puppet theatre bought in IKEA.

Dear “Big Bang” participant,

As you may be aware, the Big Bang is almost at 750 sites, which is pretty amazing. I feel that the 1,000 site goal is very doable. If you haven’t updated your list in a while I would suggest doing so at http://mondaymorningpower.blogspot.com/2008/01/big-bang-master-list.html, however, that is not the reason for leaving this comment.

I have launched 2 new sites that are “link-love” based, but emphasize quality over quantity.

I believe that everyone has something to be grateful for and/or something to complain about. If you would like to participate in what could eventually be bigger than the Big Bang, please follow the appropriate url and do so:

The puppet theatre looks real nice. I got the finger puppets from Ikea before but didn't see the theatre.

So, when is the show. I want to come. Heheheh.

BTW, I have 3 copies of Deirdre Imus "Growing Up Green" book to giveaway. I am holding a contest to see who to give it away to. If you are interested to join, check out this post of mine:

Wen,

All are from IKEA.

Siew Ting,

I think the puppet theater is a new product.

Wait til you have kids, then you will see the puppets in action.

Puppets attract children, eh?

They entertain me too.
