We had so much fun making these peg dolls! The wooden pegs costs less than a pound for about 24 and everything else came from our making boxes, so they’re a great frugal activity – perfect for the summer holidays. What I always like about these kind of crafts is that there’s so much playing you can do with what you’ve made. You can put on a puppet show, take them for a ride on your double decker bus, let them move into your fairy garden… wherever the kids’ imaginations take them.
If you make some peg dolls, we would LOVE to see them. You can share a photo on our Facebook page.

Hello, just found you through the new linky thing on the Diary of a Frugal Family blog… nice to meet you.
Love the creativity.
Also good to see those picture books on your post about getting lost – I used to be a children’s bookseller and one of my favourite parts of the job was tracking down books that helped little ones with ‘issues’

Hi Cathy, These look absolutely great. I know that Oliver would love doing them. I pass some of your ideas over to his childminder too, as she’s always looking for really creative things to do with the kids she cares for. We really do love your ideas. Do keep them coming. I don’t know what we’d do without you!
