You can crochet cute little finger puppets from leftovers. There are no limits to your imagination and creativity. Animals are especially popular with children, so why not crochet a little finger puppet zoo? Wouldn’t that be a lovely idea for Christmas?
Or how about a
finger puppet Advent calendar?
5 forest animals you can crochet with this pattern: squirrel, deer, owl, raccoon, and fox. The 5 friends meet regularly in a forest clearing and tell each other about their adventures.

And here is a pattern for
5 farm animals: billy goat, horse, sheep, pig, and cow.
These animals can also be crocheted wonderfully from leftover yarn.

And finally,
3 Christmas finger puppets: snowman, Santa Claus, and moose.
All finger puppets are about 9 cm tall and fit on small children’s hands.
With these suggestions, you would already have half an Advent calendar filled.
