You can do something to help children in the IWK Health Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia. This fine hospital for children, women and families, serves its community well. The IWK Auxiliary oversees a project to provide finger puppets to kids at various places in the hospital, including when they have blood tests. Oooh, a pinch. Oh, a puppet!
You can create puppets from yarn by knitting, crocheting, spool knitting or weaving. Or you can make puppets from felt by sewing and gluing. Note that puppets with parts that can fall off, such as googly eyes, will be used for children over 3. They can be dropped off at locations of Atlantic Fabrics or to the IWK itself, more details to come.
I welcome posts and photos of puppets you have made (either for the IWK or otherwise) and instructions or patterns!
