Craft:

I have to be honest - there wasn't much of one today since this was my first storytime after maternity leave.  A colleague had a craft that went with Hilda Must Be Dancing which I used as well.  We used die cuts of hippos, punched a hole into it, tied a string through the hole and then tied the other end of the string to a straw.  Voilá!  Instant dancing hippo puppet!
