February 15 is National Hippo Day! And even if you missed National Hippo Day, every day is a fun day to create a hippo craft. In this blog we want to share our favorite craft activities that we found on the web. We had so much fun looking for hippo craft activities! In the last blog article we listed some Fun Facts about hippopotamuses. We also had a free download of a hippo coloring page for the kids (or you) to color.
Our Hippo Puppet Sewing Pattern is the pattern of the month! The hippo is the largest land animal after the elephant and white rhino. Its closest relatives are the whales and porpoises. Even though they are related to aquatic mammals, they can’t swim or float! They stand and walk on sandbanks underneath the water.
In our previous blog article we listed a few links to craft projects featuring sloths that we found around the web. We also had a free download of sloth paper bag puppet pattern.
We are continuing the sloth theme with a list of books that we thought would be interesting and fun to pair with a sloth puppet. We’ve noticed that kids become more engaged during reading when a puppet is used to help bring a book alive.
Make your very own felt sloth hand puppet using our free pattern. Very simple to make – just cut felt and glue together. You could hand sew it too, if you wanted.

Time to celebrate sloths as our pattern of the month! We noticed that sloths are “in” so we went to work and created our Sloth Puppet Sewing Pattern. We’ve gotten a lot of “oooohs” and “ahhhhhs” in response to how cute this puppet is.
In our previous blog article we listed a few links to craft projects featuring skunks that we found around the web. We also had a free download of skunk paper bag puppet pattern.

In the last blog article we listed some Fun Facts about skunks. We also had a free download of a skunk coloring page for the kids (or you) to color. We were kind of surprised at how few skunk craft activities there were for the younger set. We try to list crafts that are inexpensive and use materials most likely to be on hand. Here are the ones we thought were easy to do and fun.
Our pattern of the month is the skunk! The skunk hasn’t been in the public eye for quite some time now so we think it’s time for a resurgence of popularity.
