I like to use a story bag at toddler group story time. I find it holds the interest of the children and adults better than a picture. My mum is a great knitter and made some Bible characters for me.
If you are able to have a go at making some then the pattern is available from http://www.alandart.co.uk . They are a good size and can be adapted by adding different clothes.
Happy knitting 🙂 and even happier storytelling
This playdough is a no cook recipe – it uses boiling water so has to be made by an adult.

1/4 cup salt
1 teaspoon cream of tarter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (don’t use a nut oil in case children are allergic)
3/4 cup boiling water
Food colouring paste or ready mix water colour paint for colour
To make add all the dry ingredients to a mixer and then add the oil, boiling water and colouring and mix till a soft dough.
