Have you ever considered that the type of toys your children play with helps shape who they respect?
That’s where the inspiration came from for this little tutorial. We wanted our kids to play with a different type of toy. A toy that will teach them lessons about selflessness, courage and determination, and a toy that we can use to discuss current issues in their language.
Supplies Needed:
- Wooden Peg People
- Medium and Extra small acrylic paint brushes
- Acrylic paint
- For extra help, you can download & print our sketch templates (Doctor PDF, Nurse PDF, Grocer PDF)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
We wanted to make painting these Peg People as simple as possible - something that's easy for you to do with the kids! We’ve created a line template PDF for you to refer to while you paint if it helps! No secrets here - just paint the areas marked out in the colors you prefer. Acrylic paint is all you need. We chose to keep the faces wood, but you could also paint the entire Peg as well!
As you do this craft with your loved ones, chat about selfless people you know who inspire us with their acts of service, compassion and care. Talk about what it means to be a real hero.
Looking to give your Peg Person an adorable hairstyle? Grab one of our wood beads and hot glue it to your peg person's head to create the most adorable bun. Our grocer has a cute side bun, but you do it however you like!
We hope you love this easy tutorial!
As always, tag us on Instagram with your peg people hero projects! #createdwithcarasupply
