If you enjoy knitting, why not make mittens, a scarf or a beanie hat or even a hand puppet to put a smile on a chid's face? Simply put your knitted gifts along with other gifts in a shoe box and take it to your local warehouse, church or drop off point.
You could use our specially made pattern for hand puppets. The clowns were so popular last winter that we hope to have many more knitted puppets in shoe boxes this year. Playing with a glove puppet has been found to be very therapeutic for a child suffering from trauma or isolation – the puppet becomes a little friend to talk to.
