I remember making puppets like this about 20 years ago

I remember making puppets like this about 20 years ago when I was 11-12 years old. I didn't have the pattern anymore but it was pretty simple to draw.
I'm dropping this somewhere in my hometown as part of The Toy Society project.

Read more about The Toy Society here:
The Toy Society spreads the love throughout the streets of the world. Nothing to it really just a bunch of handmade toys looking for a nice home. People leave their crafty gifts at a random place for someone else to find.

What started as a small street art project in Australia is slowly spreading around the world.

I remember reading about this recently about someone who posted they had received a toy via the toy society drop. Very cool concept; however, if you don't receive confirmation about where it ended up it does not mean the toy did not end up in hands of a child that will love it; it could be they are too young to use a computer or there family doesn't have access to one.
