Mummy Duck Returns
Making more puppets at Diane’s Puppets
I pride myself on making my own puppets here at Diane’s Puppets. I like to think that anyone who books a Diane’s Puppets party is getting a very unique experience both visually and on a performance level. No one else will have puppets like mine.
One of my favourite puppets that I have used over the years was Mummy Duck. She was a white fluffy knitted duck who flew off my knitting needles one day. She was soft and cuddly but very very bossy and loud and rather silly. She was always losing her five baby ducks when they went swimming over the hills and far away. Silly Mummy Duck would constantly suggest they were in the dustbin when I enquired where she thought they had gone. Luckily the boys and girls would always manage to call her babies back and they would get a nice cuddle from Mummy Duck before being scolded and told to go to bed.
Then Mummy Duck swam off somewhere.
I’ve looked everywhere for her, even in the dustbin. She’s just not there.
So I’ve been missing her sorely.
So, here is Mummy Duck the 2nd. A yellow crochet duck with 5 new babies.
Quack Quack Quack QUACK!
And all of her 5 little ducks came back!
Mummy duck scolds her babies for swimming away
Five little ducks went swimming one day
Over the hills and far away
Mummy duck said Quack Quack Quack Quack Quack!
But only four little ducks came back.
Four little ducks went swimming one day
Over the hills and far away
Mummy duck said Quack Quack Quack Quack!
But only three little ducks came back.
Three little ducks went swimming one day
Over the hills and far away
Mummy duck said Quack Quack Quack Quack Quack
But only two little ducks came back.
Two little ducks went swimming one day
Over the hills and far away
Mummy duck said Quack Quack Quack Quack
But only one little duck came back.
One little duck went swimming one day
Over the hills and far away
Mummy Duck said Quack Quack Quack Quack
But no little ducks came swimming back. 
No little ducks went swimming one day
Over the hills and far away
Everyone said Quack Quack Quack Quack!
And all of the five little ducks came swimming back.
Mummy duck said Quack Quack Quack Quack
