Finger family nursery song is a very popular song which also makes it fun for little ones to learn new words and activities. My son watches these songs in YouTube videos and kids Apps, so he is always active with a song in his mind.
Daddy finger, daddy finger where are you?
Here I am. Here I am. How do you do?
Mommy finger, mommy finger where are you?
Here I am. Here I am. How do you do?
That is part of the original song. But instead of Daddy, mommy we found songs with animal characters too. Such as fish finger, monkey finger and so on.
As my son loves this song much, once we bought him finger Muppets to play. Later I found really easy idea to make him finger Muppets with different characters. Here is one of such ideas.
Fish Finger Family
What you need
Five fish stickers (different sizes of stickers to show Daddy fish, Mommy fish etc)
Five drinking straws
Sellotape
How we make finger muppets
Making fish finger family is really easy and it only takes few minutes.
Take one sticker and attach a straw behind the sticker using a piece of sellotape.
Continue same for the five stickers.
It is done!
Now sing the finger family song showing the daddy fish, mommy fish, brother fish, sister fish and baby fish.
This is always a fun activity at our home. Use different character stickers and make different finger families. So, your toddler will not get bored when there is no activity to do!
Actually, I couldn’t take photos leisurely as my son was dragging one by one when I finished making the fish family straws. He loves this activity each time!

Making a song visually active is a lovely way to sing a song. Great fun for kids and this is so simple.
