What's New?

"Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?" This is our deluxe imaginary pals set. And when I say deluxe, I mean deluxe. It includes six of our hand-crafted finger puppets (Cookie Monster, Ernie, Big Bird, Bert, Zoe, and Elmo) and four, yes four, colorful Sesame Beginnings board books ("Nighty Night", "At the Zoo", "Eyes & Nose Fingers & Toes", and "Bubbles Bubbles").


Don't Rock the Ark Finger Puppets and Children's Book Set (Set of 5 Puppets)
Yep, that's right. I've added two different Noah and the Ark Finger Puppet and Book Sets to my shop. Each has five finger puppets (Noah and four of his animals) and paired up with an adorable Noah-themed book. One is "Noah" a colorful board book perfect for little hands. The other is the beautiful picture book "Don't Rock the Rock" by Elizabeth Rodger.

Read It Again Mom!

Maybe it's the mom in me. Maybe it's the teacher in me. (Teaching is the profession I had before becoming "mom". It was the job that paid me. Who knew that becoming a mom would make a teacher's salary seem golden. lol) But I am obsessed with children's books.



To be honest, my obsession started long before I was a mom or a teacher. What's not to love about children's books? Colorful pictures to look at. Few words to focus on. A life's lesson wrapped up in a matter of pages. (Often a lesson needed more by the adult than by the child.) And don't underestimate the meaningful memories created when a parent curls up with his or her child to read a book. "Read it again Mom!" is a phrase uttered by my 4-year old almost daily.


So it's no wonder that some of my favorite listings in my etsy shop are my finger puppet and book combos. I love finding books to pair up my puppets with. Sometimes my mom and I design puppets specifically for a book. It's a fun challenge! I have a few of these listings in my shop right now and I hope to add more. So please stop by and check them out. http://www.weeknit.etsy.com/

My Bear and Friends Set goes perfectly with this Winnie the Pooh Easter Book.
Warning: It's my only one. So if it strikes your fancy snatch it up.

And don't miss every preschooler's favorite dinosaur, Barney. Plus, I have The Velveteen Rabbit (not pictured).

Only a few left....

Some of my personal favorites in our etsy shop (http://www.weeknit.etsy.com/) are the book and finger puppet sets. When we happen upon a book that we think would be fun to pair puppets up with, we purchase a few. Sometimes we have puppets that work. Sometimes we design the puppet to match the book. It's a lot of fun! The drawback is the fact that it becomes a limited item (limited to the number of books we purchased). Currently, we have a couple of Easter books in our shop that I'd love you to check out. I thought it would be fun to show them off. I have a handful of the Barney Easter Books left and two (yes only two) of the Peter Cottontail Books left. So if they strike your fancy, snatch them up now!

Ready for a Quiz?

Oh a new day, a new listing! I added a couple of new items to my etsy shop (http://www.weeknit.etsy.com/) last night. I'd like to show them off to you, but first I must dazzle you with my wit so that you will not only look at today's items but check back for tomorrow's shameless plug as well. (Hint: The first item features a red fuzzy fellow that resides on a famous street. The second item revolves around a purple dinosaur that tots adore and teens abhor.)

Now, I'm guessing that many of you immediately knew the two characters to whom I am referring. Yes, I must admit my two darling daughters have me in PBS overload. (In an attempt to cut back on expenses, hubby and I cut back to basic, and I mean BASIC, cable. PBS is the only choice my girls have as far as children's programming goes.) So here's my question to you - are you too in PBS overload? Take my short quiz and find out.
PBS OVERLOAD QUIZ
1. What is the name of the fuzzy red monster that lives on that famous street? (1 point)
2. What is the name of the street? (1 point)
3. What is the name of the fuzzy red monster's goldfish? (2 points)
4. Bonus points - If this quirky tune - la la la, la la la, (Insert furry red monster's name here) World - played through your head as you read these questions, give yourself 3 bonus points.
5. What is the name of the purple dinosaur? (1 point)
6. Give yourself 1 point for each dinosaur friend you can name. (3 points)
7. Name the big, red, dog? (1 point)
8. Name the Science Kid who has a new PBS series? (2 points)

10.Who is the curious little monkey's human friend that tries to keep him out of trouble ? (2 points)

See the answers below. But first enjoy this shameless plug of WeeKnit's darling products!
WARNING! SHAMELESS PRODUCT PLACEMENT! WARNING! SHAMELESS PRODUCT PLACEMENT!

Your little ones will love playing with our Sesame Street pal look-a-likes. This set includes six finger puppets. These puppets resemble Oscar the Grouch, Ernie, Big Bird, Bert, Cookie Monster, and of course Elmo!

This set contains five of our darling finger puppets (A Little Girl, Baby Bop, Barney, B.J., and a Little Boy) and the book "Barney's Favorite Easter Stories".This book contains two Easter tales in one book. Your kids are sure to enjoy playing with these puppets as Barney and his friends attend an Easter parade and venture out on an egg hunt.
We are always excited when we happen on some books to pair our puppets up with. However, we usually purchase these books a few at a time. For that reason, these books are usually only available in limited quanities and once they're gone, we're out.
END OF SHAMELESS PLUG! END OF SHAMELESS PLUG! END OF SHAMELESS PLUG!
So now that you are all on pins and needles (drumroll inserted here), here are the answers to the quiz.
1. Elmo (1 point)
2. Sesame Street (1 point)
3. Dorothy (2 points)
4. I can't hear the name Elmo without the Elmo's World song playing through my head. Oh no - there it goes again! (3 points)

6. B.J., Baby Bop, and Riff (1 point each)
7. Clifford (1 point)
8. Sid the Science Kid (2 points)
9. Curious George (1 point)
10. The Man in the Yellow Hat (2 points)
Bonus - Gnocchi (4 points)
So how'd you do? The highest score possible is 21 points. I figure if you scored above 17 you too are one of the adults who's brain is slowly turning to mush by educational programming. If so, turn off the t.v. and slowly back away. You are now safe to go about your day. :)
