Materials:  felt  scissors felt glue I use felt glue because I have tried using Elmer's glue many a times and it has never kept my felt pieces together.  This was my first time trying felt glue and it seems to be working well for the monkeys.  Doll Dragon enjoyed watching me put the monkeys together.   I also made an alligator to go with the monkeys using Popsicle sticks.  Doll Dragon begged me to add the felt teeth before playing with them. :) We played with these while singing the cute 5 Little Monkeys diddy.  5 little monkeys swinging in a tree Teasing Mr. Alligator "can't catch me, can't catch me" Along came Mr. Alligator quiet as can be And snapped 1 monkey right out of the tree 4 little monkeys swinging in a tree Teasing Mr. Alligator "...
