Five Little Ducks - hand puppet

I have had the lucky job this month of doing 10 minute singing time with kids from 18 months to 2 1/2 years old one day each week. The little ones are so cute, but need lots of visual stimulation as they have an attention span of about 30 seconds.

I decided to make some hand puppets to help sing along to. I am not a brilliant sewer but you can do amazing things with glue guns. Here's my Five Little Ducks hand puppet along with Mother Duck in the middle.

The kids absolutely loved it. They sang the "Quack quack quack quack" part and held up their own hands and fingers couting down with me.

This would make a great gift for a little person in your life. Include the words of the song done up nicely on cardboard and you're good to go.

Words are:-
Five little ducks went out one day,
Over the hills 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 hills and far away.
Mother Duck said "Quack, quack quack quack",
but only three little ducks came back.

(etc down to "but none of the five little ducks came back".)

Mother Duck went out one day,
Over the hills and far away.
Mother Duck said "Quack, quack, quack, quack",
And all of the five little ducks came back.
