Meet the gang! Knitted Bible people!
Say hello to my trusty Bible people. My mum knitted all of these from an Alan Dart pattern for a nativity Available from Amazon set. They are perfect for telling stories at Toddler Group. Although I don’t use them every week (as variety is good), I wouldn’t want to be without them! They are very versatile and a good size – 31cm/12in tall. They can easily fit in a story bag and everyone can see them during story time. All of these knitted dolls were make with Stylecraft Special DK which comes in loads of colours and is a reasonably priced acrylic yarn.
It’s worth noting that these knitted dolls aren’t toys and so it’s advisable to let toddlers look but not touch. I’ve never had any problem with this rule.
Here’s a link to a Bible Story that uses a member of the knitted doll gang – God knows when I feel..busy
Thanks Rachel.

my pleasure – thanks for letting me know that it was difficult to find
I help run a toddler group and I’m looking to purchase knitted characters to use for story time . Any idea where hi can find someone selling them
Hi Betty, have you asked if any of your friends could knit some for you? I have seen knitted nativity sets for sale at craft fairs. You may find some on etsy. But I think it would be best to ask a friend to make some. If your group is connected to a church then I would start there. Hope that helps. If you can’t find anyone then you could always try making characters from pringle containers as they can work well too. Rachel
