Thanksgiving Finger Puppets

The Thanksgiving box went out with Thanksgiving finger puppets and some fun Thanksgiving books. The finger puppets are quick to crochet and they make fun little toys to distract a little one on during the long cooking time on Thanksgiving day. For those of you interested in the free patterns you can find the female Pilgrim here, the male Pilgrim here,and the turkey here.

Pilgrim Female Finger Puppet

Thanks to the generosity and hard work done by the homeschool Mom at Almost Unschoolers in designing and offering her patterns for free I have a set of three Thanksgiving finger puppets to put in my Thanksgiving box. I posted about the Pilgrim Man last week and will be posting about the Turkey soon. The pattern for the Pilgrim Female can be found here. While I buy quite a few patterns, I also do depend on the generosity of those who donate their designs and I try to remember to thank them for their gift. This allows me to make and do more.

If you have experience with amigurumi you can use these patterns as a base and play with them. I adapted the hands and as mentioned made the bases a bit larger. I used Caron Simply Soft for the face and hands. I used Caron One Pound for the dress and Lustersheen for the eyes and mouth. While the pattern did not require it I used Red Heart Sport yarn for the hat and apron as I thought worsted weight would be too heavy for the size of the puppet.

This couple makes a great quick project if you are looking to have some fun toys around for Thanksgiving.

Pilgrim Man Finger Puppet

I needed a break from my 18" doll projects so I decided I would work on something small for my Thanksgiving box. I opened my holiday binder and found some free Thanksgiving finger puppets. You can find the Pilgrim Man Finger Puppet at Almost Unschoolers.

I used Caron Simply Soft for his face and hands. The black was Caron One Pound and the white was Red Heart Sports yarn. The details sewn with Red Heart Lustersheen.

When my Mom used to host large Thanksgiving feasts, my younger sister and I used to try to find activities to keep the large number of younger relatives busy. The turkey balloon races are still spoken of among family members. I only wish I had known how to crochet back then, as these types of toys would have been great to have to entertain the children with each year.
