Today, April 12th 2023, the world celebrates the International Day for Human Space Flight, an annual event that commemorates the first human space flight by Yuri Gagarin in 1961. This day not only recognizes the historic achievement of space exploration but also highlights the importance of space science and technology in advancing human knowledge and improving our quality of life.
One way to inspire children’s interest in space and science is through imaginative play, and Pegsies Astronaut and Spaceship Peg Doll Set is a great tool for that. Pegsies are wooden peg dolls that are laser engraved with different characters, and this set includes three peg dolls: a boy astronaut, a girl astronaut, and an astronaut with stars on its visor, as well as a spaceship with a window that one of the peg dolls can look out of while on display.
While playing with Pegsies, children can create their own stories and scenarios, using their imagination and creativity to explore the depths of space. The set can also be colored with paints, markers, pencils, crayons, or any coloring tool, which further enhances children’s creativity and fine motor skills.
Moreover, imaginative play has been shown to have long-lasting benefits for children’s development, as it fosters creativity and problem-solving skills, enhances social and emotional development, and improves language and cognitive development. It can also spark children’s interest in different fields and careers, including space exploration, art, engineering, or education.
For example, playing with Pegsies Astronaut and Spaceship Peg Doll Set can inspire children’s aspirations to become astronauts, engineers, or scientists, by exposing them to the wonders of space and the possibility of exploring it one day. Alternatively, it can also inspire children’s creativity and artistic abilities, by encouraging them to design their own unique peg dolls and spaceships.
As we honor the International Day for Human Space Flight, let’s also celebrate the power of imaginative play in inspiring children’s aspirations and fueling their creativity. Pegsies Astronaut and Spaceship Peg Doll Set is a fun and educational toy that can engage children’s minds and imaginations while fostering their development and encouraging their dreams. So, let’s blast off into space with Pegsies and explore the unknown depths of the universe!

Characters in the Pegsies Last Supper Peg Doll Set
Welcome the students and introduce the Pegsies Easter Peg Doll Set and Pegsies Last Supper Peg Doll Set.
Explain that we will be using these sets to help us understand the significance of the Last Supper and the events leading up to the Resurrection.
The Last Supper (15 minutes)
Read John 13:1-17, where Jesus washes the disciples’ feet.
Use the Pegsies Last Supper Peg Doll Set to illustrate the different characters and events of the story.
Ask the students questions about the story and encourage them to share their thoughts and reflections.
Scripture
John 13:1-7 (ICB)
John 13 It was almost time for the Jewish Passover Feast. Jesus knew that it was time for him to leave this world and go back to the Father. He had always loved those who were his own in the world, and he loved them all the way to the end.
2 Jesus and his followers were at the evening meal. The devil had already persuaded Judas Iscariot to turn against Jesus. (Judas was the son of Simon.) 3 Jesus knew that the Father had given him power over everything. He also knew that he had come from God and was going back to God. 4 So during the meal Jesus stood up and took off his outer clothing. Taking a towel, he wrapped it around his waist. 5 Then he poured water into a bowl and began to wash the followersโ feet. He dried them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
6 Jesus came to Simon Peter. But Peter said to Jesus, โLord, are you going to wash my feet?โ
7 Jesus answered, โYou donโt understand what I am doing now. But you will understand later.โ
Why do you think Jesus chose to wash the disciples’ feet? What do you think he was trying to teach them?
Why did Peter object to Jesus washing his feet? How do you think Peter felt when Jesus explained why he was doing it?
How can we follow Jesus’ example of serving others in our own lives? Can you think of any examples of times when you have served someone else?
Jesus’ Betrayal and Arrest (15 minutes)
Read John 18:1-11, where Jesus is betrayed by Judas and arrested.
Use the Pegsies Easter Peg Doll Set to illustrate the different characters and events of the story.
Ask the students questions about the story and encourage them to share their thoughts and reflections.
Scripture
John 18:1-11 (ICB)
John 18 When Jesus finished praying, he left with his followers. They went across the Kidron Valley. On the other side there was a garden of olive trees. Jesus and his followers went there.
2 Judas knew where this place was, because Jesus met there often with his followers. Judas was the one who turned against Jesus. 3 So Judas led a group of soldiers to the garden. Judas also brought some guards from the leading priests and the Pharisees. They were carrying torches, lanterns, and weapons.
4 Jesus knew everything that would happen to him. Jesus went out and asked, โWho is it you are looking for?โ
5 The men answered, โJesus from Nazareth.โ
Jesus said, โI am Jesus.โ (Judas, the one who turned against Jesus, was standing there with them.) 6 When Jesus said, โI am Jesus,โ the men moved back and fell to the ground.
7 Jesus asked them again, โWho is it you are looking for?โ
They said, โJesus of Nazareth.โ
8 Jesus said, โI told you that I am he. So if you are looking for me, then let these other men go.โ 9 This happened so that the words Jesus said before might come true: โI have not lost any of the men you gave me.โ
10 Simon Peter had a sword. He took out the sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear. (The servantโs name was Malchus.) 11 Jesus said to Peter, โPut your sword back. Shall I not drink of the cup[a] the Father has given me?โ
Why did Judas lead a group of soldiers to arrest Jesus? What was their goal?
Why did Peter try to defend Jesus with a sword? What do you think he was feeling in that moment?
Why do you think Jesus told Peter to put away his sword and allow himself to be arrested? What does this tell us about Jesus’ character?
The Crucifixion (15 minutes)
Read John 19:16-30, where Jesus is crucified.
Use the Pegsies Easter Peg Doll Set to illustrate the different characters and events of the story.
Ask the students questions about the story and encourage them to share their thoughts and reflections.
Scripture
John 19:16-30 (ICB)
John 19 16 So Pilate gave Jesus to them to be killed on a cross.
The soldiers took charge of Jesus. 17 Carrying his own cross, Jesus went out to a place called The Place of the Skull. (In the Jewish language[b] this place is called Golgotha.) 18 There they nailed Jesus to the cross. They also put two other men on crosses, one on each side of Jesus with Jesus in the middle. 19 Pilate wrote a sign and put it on the cross. It read: โJESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.โ 20 The sign was written in the Jewish language, in Latin, and in Greek. Many of the Jews read the sign, because this place where Jesus was killed was near the city. 21 The leading Jewish priests said to Pilate, โDonโt write, โThe King of the Jews.โ But write, โThis man said, I am the King of the Jews.โโ
22 Pilate answered, โWhat I have written, I have written!โ
23 After the soldiers nailed Jesus to the cross, they took his clothes. They divided them into four parts. Each soldier got one part. They also took his long shirt. It was all one piece of cloth, woven from top to bottom. 24 So the soldiers said to each other, โWe should not tear this into parts. We should throw lots to see who will get it.โ This happened to give full meaning to the Scripture:
โThey divided my clothes among them. And they threw lots for my clothing.โ
So the soldiers did this.
25 Jesusโ mother stood near his cross. His motherโs sister was also standing there, with Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 Jesus saw his mother. He also saw the follower he loved standing there. He said to his mother, โDear woman, here is your son.โ 27 Then he said to the follower, โHere is your mother.โ From that time on, this follower took her to live in his home.
28 After this, Jesus knew that everything had been done. To make the Scripture come true, he said, โI am thirsty.โ 29 There was a jar full of vinegar there, so the soldiers soaked a sponge in it. Then they put the sponge on a branch of a hyssop plant and lifted it to Jesusโ mouth. 30 Jesus tasted the vinegar. Then he said, โIt is finished.โ He bowed his head and died.
Why was Jesus crucified? Who was responsible for his death?
Why did Jesus say, “It is finished” before he died? What did he mean by this?
How do you think the disciples felt when they saw Jesus die on the cross? What do you think they did next?
The Resurrection (15 minutes)
Read John 20:1-20, where Jesus rises from the dead.
Use the Pegsies Easter Peg Doll Set to illustrate the different characters and events of the story.
Ask the students questions about the story and encourage them to share their thoughts and reflections.
Scripture
John 20:1-20
John 20 Early on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb. It was still dark. Mary saw that the large stone had been moved away from the tomb. 2 So Mary ran to Simon Peter and the other follower (the one Jesus loved). Mary said, โThey have taken the Lord out of the tomb. We donโt know where they have put him.โ
3 So Peter and the other follower started for the tomb. 4 They were both running, but the other follower ran faster than Peter. So the other follower reached the tomb first. 5 He bent down and looked in. He saw the strips of linen cloth lying there, but he did not go in. 6 Then following him came Simon Peter. He went into the tomb and saw the strips of linen lying there. 7 He also saw the cloth that had been around Jesusโ head. The cloth was folded up and laid in a different place from the strips of linen. 8 Then the other follower, who had reached the tomb first, also went in. He saw and believed. 9 (These followers did not yet understand from the Scriptures that Jesus must rise from death.)
10 Then the followers went back home. 11 But Mary stood outside the tomb, crying. While she was still crying, she bent down and looked inside the tomb. 12 She saw two angels dressed in white. They were sitting where Jesusโ body had been, one at the head and one at the feet.
13 They asked her, โWoman, why are you crying?โ
She answered, โThey have taken away my Lord. I donโt know where they have put him.โ 14 When Mary said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there. But she did not know that it was Jesus.
15 Jesus asked her, โWoman, why are you crying? Whom are you looking for?โ
Mary thought he was the gardener. So she said to him, โDid you take him away, sir? Tell me where you put him, and I will get him.โ
16 Jesus said to her, โMary.โ
Mary turned toward Jesus and said in the Jewish language, โRabboni.โ (This means Teacher.)
17 Jesus said to her, โDonโt hold me. I have not yet gone up to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell them this: โI am going back to my Father and your Father. I am going back to my God and your God.โโ
18 Mary Magdalene went and said to the followers, โI saw the Lord!โ And she told them what Jesus had said to her.
19 It was the first day of the week. That evening Jesusโ followers were together. The doors were locked, because they were afraid of the Jews. Then Jesus came and stood among them. He said, โPeace be with you!โ 20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. His followers were very happy when they saw the Lord.
Have you ever found yourself staring blankly at the gift aisle of a store, wondering what on earth you should get for your loved oneโs birthday? Socks? Too boring. A gift card? Too impersonal. A pet rock? No thanks. Well, fear not my friend, because Pegsies the perfect solution for you – personalized peg dolls!
Yes, you read that right. Those little wooden dolls that kids play with can actually make a fantastic gift for adults, especially when you put some effort into customizing them. And lucky for you, Pegsies offers a whole range of unfinished peg dolls that you can color to fit any occasion or personality.
For example, do you have a friend whoโs a huge sports fan? Why not get them a personalized sports peg doll with their favorite teamโs colors and their name and number laser engraved on the jersey? Or maybe you have a family member whoโs a bit quirky and loves all things sci-fi – you can color an astronaut and spaceship with a crazy fun color scheme.
But the best part about personalized peg dolls is the time and effort you put into creating them. You can spend as much time as you need coming up with the perfect color scheme, and then meticulously paint each tiny detail with the utmost care. And letโs be honest, what better way to show your love and appreciation than by giving someone a gift that youโve poured your heart and soul into?
Of course, thereโs always the possibility that your peg doll wonโt turn out exactly as you envisioned. Maybe you accidentally give them a pair of pants that’s not quite normal looking or a dog whose fur ends up two shades of brown because your color pencil ran out. But hey, thatโs what makes it even more special – itโs a one-of-a-kind, imperfect creation thatโs sure to put a smile on your loved oneโs face.
So next time youโre struggling to find the perfect gift, think outside the box and consider the wonderfully unique option of personalized peg dolls. Who knows, maybe youโll discover a hidden talent for miniature painting along the way.

So grab your Pegsies peg dolls and let your imagination run wild as we journey into the world of storytelling with these fun and whimsical animal characters!
1. Porky and the ducks
Once upon a time, in a little girl’s toy chest, there lived a peg doll pig named Porky. Porky was a cheerful and chubby little pig who loved nothing more than getting dirty in the mud. He would spend hours every day rolling around in the dirt, making a mess of himself and his surroundings.
As the winter months dragged on, Porky grew increasingly restless. He missed the feel of the soft, squishy mud beneath his trotters and longed for the warm sun on his back. He spent his days dreaming of springtime, when he could once again play in the mud to his heart’s content.
Finally, one day, the sun shone down, the snow melted away, and the first signs of spring began to appear. Porky couldn’t contain his excitement – he knew that the mud would soon be back, and he could hardly wait.
He spent the next few weeks eagerly anticipating the return of his beloved mud, his excitement growing with each passing day. Finally, one glorious afternoon, the rain came – and with it, the mud.
Porky couldn’t believe his luck. He squealed with joy and ran outside to play in the mud. He rolled and wallowed and splashed around, getting dirtier and dirtier with each passing minute.
But just as Porky was starting to feel truly content, something strange happened. A group of ducks waddled over to the mud puddle and began to join in on the fun. Before long, there were ducks everywhere, quacking and splashing and generally making a mess of things.
And then what happened…
2. Percy the peg doll penguin and his melting ice cubes
Once upon a time, in a toy chest filled with peg doll animals, there lived a penguin named Percy. Percy was a quirky little penguin who loved nothing more than soaking up the warm sun on his belly. But as the winter months drew to a close and the first signs of spring appeared, Percy found himself feeling conflicted.
On one hand, he couldn’t wait for the sunshine and warmth of spring. He was tired of being cooped up indoors all winter and longed to bask in the sun’s rays. But on the other hand, he was worried about what spring might mean for his beloved ice cubes.
You see, Percy had a bit of an obsession with ice cubes. He loved nothing more than popping a few ice cubes into his lemonade on a hot day, and he couldn’t bear the thought of running out of his favorite beverage enhancer.
As the days grew warmer and the sun shone brighter, Percy couldn’t help but feel a growing sense of dread. What if all the ice melted and there were no more ice cubes left for him? He couldn’t imagine a life without his beloved lemonade!
And then what happened…
3. Mittens and Fido meet a raccoon
In a toy chest filled with peg doll animals, there lived a cat named Mittens and a dog named Fido. Mittens and Fido were the best of friends, and they loved nothing more than playing tag around their backyard on a sunny day. So when the first signs of spring appeared, they were over the moon with excitement.
They spent hours each day frolicking in the grass and chasing each other around the yard, basking in the warm sun and enjoying the fresh air. But one day, as they were playing, they noticed a strange creature lurking in the nearby tree.
It was a raccoon – a friendly little fellow with a mischievous grin and a love of mischief. Mittens and Fido were intrigued, but also a little wary. They had never seen a raccoon up close before, and they weren’t sure how to approach him.
Are you looking for a fun and challenging creative outlet? Do you have a knack for painting, but are looking for a new canvas to unleash your inner artist? Look no further than peg dolls! These tiny wooden figures may look unassuming, but they’re actually a blank canvas just waiting for your artistic touch. So grab a few blank or Pegsies peg dolls and let’s dive into some tips and tricks to help you make your peg dolls pop!
1. Choose the right medium
Choosing the right medium for painting peg dolls is like choosing the right outfit for a first date. You want something that looks good, feels comfortable, and won’t make you sweat like a pig in a sauna. That’s why fine tip acrylic paint markers are a great choice for peg dolls. They’re easy to use, provide vibrant colors, and won’t leave you with a sticky mess to clean up.
With fine tip acrylic paint markers, you don’t have to worry about brushes, water cups, or messy palettes. You can just pick up a marker and start painting like a boss. Plus, they’re great for people who have the artistic ability of a potato. I mean, let’s be real, it’s hard enough to paint on a flat surface, let alone a three-dimensional object. But with fine tip acrylic paint markers, you can achieve the same level of detail and precision as a Renaissance painter. So go ahead and treat yourself to some fine tip acrylic paint markers. Your peg dolls will thank you, and you’ll feel like the Bob Ross of miniature art.

We love the ease of acrylic paint markers, specifically fine tip markers that get details just right. Below is the least expensive set of paint markers we could find on Amazon and found them to work great! After painting, we seal our work with Liquitex (Matte finish if you don’t want it to be too shiny). Mod Podge also works well, but have found it gets sticky when wet or hot.

Preparing a peg doll for painting is like preparing a pizza for toppings. You wouldn’t just throw some cheese and pepperoni on a raw ball of dough, would you? Of course not! You have to knead the dough, add some sauce, and maybe even sprinkle on some garlic powder. It’s the same with peg dolls. You have to be intentional and take the time upfront before paint touches the peg doll. Otherwise, you’ll end up with a lumpy, bumpy mess that looks like it was painted by a blindfolded chimp.
One key aspect of preparation is sanding the doll to remove any rough spots or imperfections. This will help create a smoother surface for painting and ensure that the paint adheres properly. Sanding can be done using fine-grit sandpaper or a sanding sponge, and it’s important to take your time and be gentle to avoid damaging the doll.
Another important aspect of preparation is applying a bottom coat of sealer. This can help make it easier to fix mistakes or make changes during the painting process. By applying a sealer to the doll before painting, you create a protective layer that prevents the paint from soaking into the wood. This means that if you make a mistake, you can simply wipe it off with a damp cloth or sand it down without damaging the underlying wood. Additionally, a sealer can help create a smoother surface for painting, making it easier to apply and blend colors. Overall, taking the time to prepare your peg doll for painting can lead to a more professional-looking and long-lasting finished product.

If you are painting a Pegsies Peg Doll, hopefully there isn’t much prep work needed! We strive to provide you with a ready-to-play or ready-to-color peg doll that is smooth with clearly etched lines. Depending on your coloring medium, you might want a smoother surface or bottom coat. For example, color pencil tends to look best on a smooth surface, while water color might have some unique character when used on a rougher surface.
For sandpaper, any brand will do, but we prefer 120 or 220 grit to smooth out surfaces. For a bottom coat primer, most top coat sealer will work.

Have you ever started painting peg dolls without a plan, only to end up with a group of unrecognizable blobs that look like they were painted by a toddler? Yeah, me too. That’s why it’s important to make a plan before you begin painting. Not only will it help you avoid a disastrous outcome, but it’ll also make you feel like a professional artist.
Making a plan doesn’t have to be complicated. Just take a moment to think about what you want your peg dolls to look like. Do you want them to be superheroes, princesses, or zombies? Once you have a general idea, grab a piece of paper and sketch out your designs. Trust me, your peg dolls will thank you for it. Plus, you’ll avoid the embarrassment of having to explain to your friends and family why you painted a peg doll that looks like a melted crayon.
Pegsies Recommends
If you are painting a Pegsies peg doll, most of your plan will center around colors. The design is already done for you! To test your coloring medium, we include 1 inch wooden tokens so you can see how your color looks on wood before applying to your peg doll.
If you are starting from scratch … please draw out your design. It makes the process less stressful and will allow you to more enjoy the creative process, one step at a time. Pegsies has printables to help you through the design process. And if you are coloring a Pegsies peg doll, we have printable coloring sheets for many of our designs.
4. Take your time
When it comes to painting peg dolls, it’s important to remember that patience is a virtue. Sure, you might be tempted to rush through the painting process like a caffeinated squirrel, but trust me, that’s a recipe for disaster. Instead, take your time and approach the painting like a meditation session. You’ll be surprised at how calming and enjoyable it can be.
If you find yourself getting frustrated or bored, it’s okay to take a break and come back to it later. In fact, it’s probably better for your mental health if you don’t spend hours on end hunched over a tiny peg doll, muttering to yourself like a mad scientist. So go ahead and take a nap, play with your dog, or go for a walk. Your peg dolls will still be there when you come back, patiently waiting for you to give them the attention they deserve. And who knows, maybe you’ll come back with a fresh perspective and a newfound appreciation for the art of peg doll painting.

Our family has always had a fondness for limericks because they are such a fun and playful form of poetry. Limericks have a distinct rhythm and rhyme scheme that makes them easy to memorize and recite, which is always a hit around the dinner table. We love how limericks often have a humorous or silly tone, which can bring a smile to anyone’s face. It’s also a great way to encourage creativity and imagination, as we are yet to find a topic that can’t be told with a limerick.
Here are 3 limericks that we hope give you a smile!
Family Peg Dolls
There once was a small wooden peg doll clan, Living in a house that was made by hand, Their faces were simple, But they were nimble, And their life was oh so grand!
Pirate Peg Dolls
There once was a pirate peg doll crew, Sailing the seas on a quest anew, With a map and a plan, And a telescope in hand, They searched for treasure, shiny and true.
Soccer Player Peg Doll
There once was a wooden peg doll, Whose passion was kicking a ball, While dribbling there, He played with a flair, Scoring goals that made the other team bawl.
The Peg Doll Kingdom had always been a peaceful and happy place. The Peg Doll King, Queen, and Princess ruled the kingdom with kindness, and their subjects loved them. The kingdom was made entirely out of wood, and it was filled with wooden toys and figurines, including the peg dolls.
The Peg Doll King, Queen, and Princess were always kind and fair to everyone in their kingdom. However, one day, a mighty dragon appeared, breathing fire and causing chaos everywhere. The dragon was angry and destructive, and it was intent on destroying the kingdom.
The Peg Doll King, Queen, and Princess were in grave danger, and their subjects were too scared to fight the dragon. The Peg Doll Knight, however, was not afraid. He was a brave warrior, with a sword and shield, and he was determined to protect the royal family and defeat the dragon.
The Peg Doll Knight charged at the dragon, but his sword couldn’t cut through the dragon’s tough scales, and his shield couldn’t block the dragon’s fiery breath. The Peg Doll Knight tried his hardest to protect the royal family, but he was quickly losing the battle.
The dragon was getting closer and closer to the royal family, and the Peg Doll Knight knew he had to do something. He closed his eyes and prayed for strength, and suddenly, a miracle happened. His body was covered in a brilliant coat of paint, in silver, red, and gold, and he felt a newfound energy coursing through his veins.
With a roar of determination, the Peg Doll Knight charged at the dragon once again. This time, his sword glinted in the sunlight, and his shield gleamed like the sun. The dragon was taken aback by the transformation, and for a moment, it hesitated.
The Peg Doll Knight didn’t waste any time. He lunged with his sword and the beast fell to the ground, defeated. The Peg Doll Knight had saved the kingdom and the royal family, and the people cheered and celebrated.
From that day on, the Peg Doll Knight became known as the greatest warrior in the land, and his story was told for generations to come. And whenever anyone needed courage and strength, they would remember the story of the Peg Doll Knight, who became a hero once he received a proper coat of paint.
