I'm planning more finger puppet sets; Want to give some input?

[Cutiepie]

Well, if anyone has any suggestions for future Finger Puppet sets, feel free to chime in here.

I was thinking a set with fairy tales:
Red Riding Hood, Grandma and the Big Bad Wolf, maybe the woodsman and RR's mommy;
Rapunzel, Witch and Prince, maybe the tower as well;
Three Little Pigs and Wolf, perhaps their cottages too;
What others would you like to see?

Also, nursery rhymes:
Cat & fiddle, Cow jumping over moon, little laughing dog, dish and spoon;
Jack Horner with his Christmas Pie and plum;
Jack-Be-Nimble jumping over his candle;
Any other suggestions here?
Perhaps a "Mother Goose" basket for storage.

Zoo animals:
Elephant, giraffe, lion, tiger, zebra, seal, polar bear, Zoo Keeper, monkey and/or gorilla, penguin, maybe one or two more, with a Zoo Cage for storage (similar to the barn from Old MacDonald set). What do you think of these?

or the old woman's shoe for storage? if you can kick all them kids out that she didn't know with what to do

would it be hard to do a "When I grow up" set of fingerpuppets that show people dressed for different jobs?

there was an lady who swallowed a fly...

I am going to have to get my kiddy books out and the thinking cap on

Cutiepie, I am a newwbie and I would like to add a little saying under my name. I can not find out how to do this. I am a Red Hatter and would like to use my royal name "Empress Sew & Sew". We are a bunch of silly old ladies having fun while wearing red and purple.
Can you help me, please.
Crickie

no doubt the next time CutiePie is online,and she sees this,your wish shall come true,Empress

Prince, Princess, Dragon, Horse, castle, Queen, King, Kitty, Puppy, Cockatiel, Fairy Godmother and Wicked witch. This is the favorite of my 5 year old twin grand daughters. Thanks Cutie Pie for all your hard work.

Yes! Fairy Tales would be great. Our children today don't know the old fairy tales like we were brought up with. How about Professional People: Teacher, Policeman, Nurse, Dr., etc.
And Family: Mom, Dad, Sis, Brother, Baby, Grandma, Grandpa, pet, etc.

My daughter goes nuts over the princesses.

Cinderella (container is the coach or castle), Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid (container could be a shell), and other classic story tales that have been around for centuries. (Disney borrowed the stories). Robin Hood, Jungle Book could be for boys.

When I was a child they used to have paper dolls of the children of the world, each hand puppet could be a diffrent nationality (Irish dancer, Dutch child with tulip, French with beret, Chinese child in typical clothing etc.) You could do one set of girls and one set of boys. http://www.farsinet.com/tambr/iri_childrenofworld.html

The little red hen might be cute.

What about holiday finger puppets (Christmas - santa, elf, reindeer or nativity set, Muliple holiday set (cupid, leapracaun, child in uniform for Memorial Day and 4th of July, Easter - bunny, chick, egg, other spring time baby animals)?

My daughter would use them as Little People so why not a family set (Mommy, Daddy, sister, brother, baby, Grandma, Grandpa, doggy, cat)?

How about the Gingerbread man? Container could be an oven or just a bag. Need Gingerbread man, Old Lady, Old Man, Horse, Cow, Cat, and Fox. If the container is a bag, an eight design could be added that is the words "Gingerbread Man" or "Run, un as fast as you can." This has been a favorite of my grandchildren for a very long time and it has such a good moral to the story.

Hi,
My eyes aren't what they used to be..nor my hands for detail work by hand.
Everything is so PC these days...but I myself would have to go simple for above reasons.LOL
fruit "people"/characters...throw in a cookie or cupcake person?I embroidered some,it taught my grandaughter and she liked it.
(an 80 plus yr old granny invented Barney).
Anything colorful...with eyes and a smile..even simple...the little ones love.
All nice ideas...

[dollyj]

Cutie Pie I love the idea of the Moyher Goose basket .... or maybe a shoe? LOL! How about a Hansel and Gretal? The mean stepmother, the kind father, the wicked witch, and a gingerbread house to store them in? I haven't thought it all out but there could be something there. Joyce

[quilt-silly]

Stable contains Mary and Jesus, Joseph, magi, shepherds, sheep, camel, donkey, chickens, angel

Fire truck contains police car, car, house, flames, firefighters, police officers, dalmation

Schoolhouse contains teacher, nurse, children holding things like a globe, a drawing, a paintbrush, a slate

Pet parade - red wagon contains children and their pets - dogs, cats, birds, fish, iguana

[grannyof9]

Wow, so many wonderful ideas! I'd be thrilled with any of the them.

My sisters and I used to drive dad crazy singing that in the car. Yes, I vote on "There was an old lady who swallowed a fly." So many different animals in this set, it would be fun. But really, Cutiepie, any set would be great.

[boltonia51]

WHOOAH! you ladies rock. with all these ideas Whatever Cutiepie decides I am with that cause any of these would be great.

[catdragon]

the alpaca people have a book with finger puppets thst is a lot like the little red hen except they are all friends and help make the garden. you could do the farm animals and the garden basket with garden stuff ( the alpaca set has an huycaya as the central character and a suri as her friend, also a rooster who is brightly colored, a turtle, a cat and a sheep)

[SusieQ]

I would like goldilocks and the three bears. I love the idea of The Christmas Story. International children dressed in traditional costumes would also be great; community helpers would be nice.

[Cutiepie]

These are some wonderful ideas! I just have to warn you that I am limited by my own artistic abilities, since I create all my own art for my design sets. Of course, maybe I could enlist my artist brother to help me. We'll just have to see what I can get worked out.

[Slashie]
