Here's an easy craft to make at home, using a brown paper bag.
Cut out the ears, nose and feet of your favourite farm animal (using brightly coloured paper), then glue the pieces onto the paper bag. Add a little detailing, and your hand puppet is ready in minutes!
Thanks again to Cindy who taught us how to sign and sing along to 'Old MacDonald had a Farm'.
Why not try a few of the signs that Cindy showed us - with a hint or two on the signing action ...
horse (use the 'H' sign with your thumbs extended, up at the top of your head, then flick your fingers as if the horse is flicking it's ears),
cow (using a 'Y' sign, turn forward a few times, indicating the horns of a cow, at the top of your head, along with a mooing sound too!),
dog (tap your thigh a few times, as if calling a dog to you, open hand in a 'B' sign, palm down),
duck (open and close the bent '3' sign, with your fingers held just under your mouth, to indicate a duck opening its beak),
sheep (probably the trickiest to learn ... use a 'K' shape with your right hand, toward body; left arm palm up, then use your right hand in a circular motion, as if clipping a sheep near the inner elbow of your left arm),
pig (there are 2 signs ... form your right hand in a 'S' sign, fist like shape, at nose level, twisting back and forth indicating the snout of a pig, or use a 'B' sign under your chin, palm down and then swing your fingers up and down, it's a similar sign to 'dirty'). Have fun!
