'Peace at Last' (story by Jill Murphy). I'm a slow knitter it took me 18 months to make Mr Bear's dressing gown, I also made him some stripey pj's and a pillow. The wooden bird whistles make very realistic sounds! 2013 - Myatt Garden Primary School Storysacks Library

I finally finished the Shark in the Park storysack! I made the game quite a while ago (and posted about that), – but I had to sew hair on the Timothy Pope doll and make him some clothes, whic…

'So Much' (book by Trish Cooke, illustrated by Helen Oxenbury). I bought the (bald) doll on Ebay and spent weeks embroidering the hair with thread and black knitting yarn, and made his jumpsuit. The baby is perfect for acting out the story passing him around all the 'aunts', 'uncles' and 'cousins'! 2014 -Myatt Garden Primary School Storysacks Library

'Bad Tempered Ladybird' Storysack - Myatt Garden Primary School Storysacks Library - I scanned and cut out pictures of the animal characters to make 'lolly-stick' puppets... working on each animal, made me really appreciate the beauty of Eric Carle's illustrations. #badtemperedladybird #storysack #badtempredladybirdstorysack

'Going to Hospital' (an Usborne book) Made way back in 2005 with three other Mums (one of them a nurse at Great Ormond Steet Childrens Hospital). Made for lending to children going to hospital for an operation. I made the doll 'Ben', all his clothes, pj's and hospital gown (inside bag). Notice the now obsolete cassette tape!

'The Goose That Laid Golden Eggs' Aesops fable. 2009. I bought the dolls at a table top sale and made them new clothes/hair; made the nest from knitting yarn; the gold egg is a music shaker; I made the game bag from scrap linen and the eggs from Fimo clay (they feel lovely, but now, after a few years use, several have teeth marks!).
