finger puppet stand

What the heck is that you're wondering.
Right?

It's use number two for last year's Christmas tree trunk!  (For use number one click here.)  It's a finger puppet stand!

Basically, it's the same idea as the crayon/pencil holder only we've stuck varying lengths of wooden dowels into the holes to support all of Naiya's little finger puppets.  This time we turned the branch on its side and split it so it's a crescent shaped wedge.  My dad then used his drill press to make vertical holes into which we placed the dowels.  It was great to get all of her animals and characters out of the jumble of their previous basket home and create a more play friendly display.
