Peppa Pig Finger Puppets

Easy, 5 minute, no sew Peppa Pig Finger Puppets

Check out our new Peppa Pig finger puppets! They took about 5 minutes and were so easy to make. Perfect for little Peppa Pig fans.

What you need to make Peppa Pig finger pupppets

All you need is a pink washing up glove, permanent markers in various colours (which you can find fairly cheaply in most stationery / craft / discount shops) and a pair of scissors. I just googled Peppa’s family so I didn’t forget any crucial details, and drew them on! Easiest no sew finger puppets ever. I used the pointer finger for Daddy Pig, the middle finger for Mummy Pig, the ring finger for Peppa and the little finger for George. We have the thumb left still, I’m contemplating whether that will become Grandpa Pig at some stage…

Because JJ’s drawing skills are still at preschooler level, I drew on the characters for her. But older kids might be able to draw the characters themselves.

Speaking of Peppa Pig, did you know that she is collaborating with Life’s Little Treasures Foundation for their new campaign The Big Splash? The Big Splash is a charity campaign to raise money for premature and sick babies. For the next two months (from 1st March to 30th April) Australian families are encouraged to sponsor children to ‘Splash like Peppa’ and fundraise by holding splash parties at the beach, their homes or by attending a Big Splash event held by their local pool. The idea is for the kids to create as much splash as possible in five minutes! Parents can register their children at thebigsplash.org.au and get splashing just like Peppa any time in March and April.

JJ, Bee and I were lucky enough to go to a special launch event for The Big Splash at one of our local pools last week. JJ was just beside herself to meet Peppa ‘in person’!

Bee on the other hand, was a bit starstruck around the gigantic Peppa, preferring to say hello to this version…

Both girls had a ball, splashing about to raise awareness for this new charity event…

After our Big Splash, JJ got the chance to show Peppa her finger puppet replicas. Doesn’t Peppa look delighted to meet our mini version of her family?

    I would love to meet a summer Olympics cartoon character. Surely the only place I would be able to do this would be at an Olympic games. I always take the first week of the Olympics off work and sllep on a mattress on the lounge room floor so I don't miss anything. So meeting a giant cartoon mascot would be awesome!!!

    They both adore Peppa pig but are now moving on to Scooby Doo and I'm sure would be thrilled to meet the giant version in person. Love the cute puppets 🙂

    What a fabulous craft. I love that these little puppets could be used in the bath or outside for play.

    My little girl is actually a bit scared of large cartoon characters, however, she loves Peppa Pig on tv! 🙂

    What a fabulous idea for puppets 🙂 We met Mickey and Minnie Mouse at a Disney Live event two years ago and my six year old still talks about it!

  11. Well Disney’s ‘Frozen’ is my kids new favourite film and they are in love with the snowman ‘Olaf’ and dance around the house singing “I’ll be doing what snow does in summer” so I am guessing they would love to me Olaf.

    Peppa would be a favourite, for sure, closely followed by Ben Elf or Holly the Fairy 🙂

    I would love to be able to take my grand daughter to see Peppa Pig. She loves the show and watches it constantly while I watch her every second Tuesday. Last week she split her head while I was watching her, so being able to give her this wonderful opportunity would be awesome. email is dagmarcourt@gmail.com

    I asked Lucy (4 and 1/2) who she’d like to meet “Peppa, Peppa, Peppa… Oh and Barbie and Frozen” was the answer. Sky’s the limit when you have a great imagination.

    For me I’d love a gigantic cartoon nanny/house cleaner to help me so I could spend it outside in my garden with my beautiful babies. 6 4 & nearly 2.

    They would absolutely love to meet the one-eyed Mike Wazouski from Monsters Inc. who is terribly afraid of being contaminated by children and chase him around!

    Hi from the newest liker! My two boys are huge fans of Superman so meeting him would be a dream come true for them. He is the ultimate superhero because of his unerring loyalty to doing good. Also, any Mum would be a fan of his broad chest! 🙂
