Five Little Piggies Glove Puppet Craft

This is another great Japanese craft idea. Make a glove to teach the 5 Little Piggies rhyme. Take a knit glove. Stuff the fingertips with cotton and tie off with thread into little fingertip balls. Then cut little pieces of felt and decorate each finger as one of the 5 little pigs. I like the one with roast beef. Use the glove to teach the rhyme. Use the consept to make other gloves for rhymes, eg. 5 Little Monkeys or the Finger Family song.
