Both of the boys have their own quiet books and both books have a page with finger puppets. This zoo one has a gate that opens to reveal three animal finger puppets.

How I Made It
The materials were simple for this page: felt and foam stickers for the word "zoo."
The finger puppets were part of a birthday card that one of the boys received, so I did not make them. However, they could easily be recreated. They sit perfectly inside a pocket behind the gate.

Why We Love This Page
This page is a lot of fun. It is great for imaginative play, learning about animals, and fine motor skills. J loves to read and trace the letters of the word "zoo." That's why I prefer to hot glue foam letters on for words. I like the different texture and the foam letters are so appealing to both boys.
The finger puppets alone keep the boys busy for awhile, especially K, who has a hard time getting these particular puppets on his fingers.
