This is a very simple activity, inexpensive and easy! It makes bath time (which lets face it, sometimes for parents a tedious task) less of a chore and way more FUN! You can make your finger puppets into whatever character you like too ie: farm animals, people, aliens, monsters, cartoon characters, the list goes on. My kids love the song and book ‘5 Little Ducks” so I went with that : )
All you need is:
Yellow kitchen gloves
Fine Point Nikko Pen
Scissors
Then you just draw on your ‘duck faces’ to each finger, snip them off and put them on your little cherubs fingers!
Then go through the song:
Five little ducks
Went out one day
Over the hill and far away
Mother duck said
“Quack, quack, quack, quack.”
But only four little ducks came back.Four little ducks
Went out one day
Over the hill and far away
Mother duck said
“Quack, quack, quack, quack.”
But only three little ducks came back.Three little ducks
Went out one day
Over the hill and far away
Mother duck said
“Quack, quack, quack, quack.”
But only two little ducks came back.Two little ducks
Went out one day
Over the hill and far away
Mother duck said
“Quack, quack, quack, quack.”
But only one little duck came back.One little duck
Went out one day
Over the hill and far away
Mother duck said
“Quack, quack, quack, quack.”
But none of the five little ducks came back.Sad mother duck
Went out one day
Over the hill and far away
The sad mother duck said
“Quack, quack, quack.”
And all of the five little ducks came back.Check out some of our other ‘Bath Fun’ ideas:
