I have so ...Thank you so much for the inspiration! I have so many craftsy friends and I'm always amazed by what they do and I always really enjoy my son playing with it...at their house. I don't really feel like doing any of those things myself, but when I came across some finger puppet pictures online the other day, I thought, "I can do that!" I came across your board while looking for more finger puppet ideas, and I felt so inspired, I went right out and bought all of the materials (a smaller version) and spent the last few days making pieces. I really have to have something to copy, so it looks almost exactly like yours, and I love it! My 2 year old son loves it too (his favorite parts to play with so far have surprisingly been the clouds and the mud puddles:) and keeps asking me to make more pieces. It's been such a great project for me to work on, and really so cheap compared to a lot of other things. I love that I can make anything I can think of, and it doesn't matter how much stuff I make, it really doesn't take up a ton of space.

And I fully support the use of an artist's canvas: it gives structure and allows for more longevity - for when trucks give way to dinosaurs: same background, new shapes.
