My girl was so delighted with
Clemence the Bramber bear sent to her by Dee and the Village Clan when Laura returned home that she decided to make them a doll-sized glove puppet. This was inspired by the large collection of finger puppets (and stage) we have gathered over the years since my elder daughter was small. I showed her how to design the puppet and how to stitch it, she did all the making herself, with a tiny bit of help from me.
