"big bad wolf" has been shane's favorite story for about a year now. he goes to bed every night listening to it. every time he see's a big dog, he calls it the big bad wolf. he was even quite terrified when he first saw this disney cartoon, but now it is a favorite.
i had planned to make a finger puppet theater for him for christmas, but got too overwhelmed with everything. i had also planned to make three pigs and the big bad wolf to go along with it. well, yesterday i decided to get started. i've only done one pig and the big bad wolf so far. i looked at stills from the cartoon and just made them up as i went. when i was cutting the wolf's tail i asked shane, "is this tail good?". he quickly replied, "no mommy. bigger. huge.". the tail was obviously a BIG DEAL. when i finished them he was sooo excited. and just now he said, "mommy, you made those for me? tank you!".
i will show them all when i finish. i just wanted to make sure and pictures before they start getting played with :D

i wanted to say a huge thank you to you all for the sweet comments on my sisters post! AND also tell you how much i enjoyed reading your musical memories. i was totally cracking up! thanks :D

  2. Oh wow, I haven't seen that Three Little Pigs clip in YEARS. I loved that story when I was little too. I had this big rolled up board, and I'd glued on carton houses with doors that flipped open, and I had little pigs glued to popsicle sticks and they each lived in a house and I had a popsicle stick wolf too... I think these finger puppets are way more awesome though :) For something you just whipped up, they are amazing!
