Animal Finger Puppet Patterns and Instructions

FINGER PUPPETS

Finger puppets might seem like simple fun, but research has shown that finger puppet play helps teach motor control, self-control, memory, social skills and vocabulary and language skills in young children. Using finger puppets to play with your child allows you to interact in a way that can encourage their little minds and nerves to be stimulated while building their hand-eye coordination and fine tuning their motor skills.

FINGER PUPPET PLAY

Here are some of the key benefits of finger puppet play and a few ways parents make playing with finger puppets fun for them and their child.

1. Fine tuning fine motor skills. Making finger puppets with your child is a great way to allow them to practice fine motor skills with the art of crafting. They come in contact with a variety of textures and feels while using their fine motor skills to glue, cut and glitter!
2. Building empathy through imagination. Develop story lines which will engage your child and teach them life lessons through role playing and story telling.
3. Bonding with your baby and siblings. Finger puppets are great for children of all ages. Include the whole family in the play and allow them to make up stories and actions of their own and to interact and problem solve with others.

ANIMAL FINGER PUPPETS

I created this set of animal finger puppets when my oldest was just a couple of years old. They have been played with and loved by all 5 of my children. I have even made a couple of different sets to gift to some of my friends children! So I thought I would make the finger puppets available to you and created some patterns for you to make your own…just like these pictured.

The animal finger puppets come in two different sets of patterns as listed below.
