Some funny stories

Published: May 28, 2013 by admin · This post may contain affiliate links or sponsored content

S and H love to make up stories, they can spend hours making soft toys or little playmobil people chat away to each other. I love listening to them, and watching their imaginations grow by the day.

I’ve noticed that both the stories they make up, and for Z what he writes are heavily influenced by the TV they watch and books we read, it’s quite scary just how sponge-like kids are.

We set about making some very simple puppets. I gave the girls some cardboard, lolly sticks and some eye stickers and left them to it. H generally usually only draws Monsters, so it made a nice change to have a person in a house and a little rabbit.

This kept the girls occupied for ages. After making the puppets they half planned the story and then put on a big show for me.

The endings were always subversive, which I think comes from having an older brother. It was a lovely way to spend a rainy afternoon.

    This is a lovely idea Emma, you are always so creative, and whenever I visit your blog it makes me think I need to do more crafty things with Mads. She would love this and to make stories from the puppets. x

    How sweet! I fear if we were to attempt the same thing they would all be star wars characters in our house. I am so bored of Star Wars! 😀
