Peg people are so fun! You can do so much with them, and so can your kids. The twins have been painting them and making little families for their freeplay.
You can purchase them at most crafts stores, online, or on etsy, even! We use standard acrylic paints on theses and then once they dry, the girls polish with beeswax :D
Once dry, it's off to Adventureland...look out for the Volcano!
Using a branch they found on the ground for the tree...
And the village is ready for play!
We also used the female peg people when we made our math gnomes for Grade 1. The tutorial can be found here.

Thanks for the fun comments! Pip - did you try etsy listings? There are a couple of etsy sellers that have them for decent prices - shipping might be too high, but if you go to
