Felt
Small wiggle eyes
Yarn scraps
Feathers
Pom-poms
Craft glue
Instructions:
1. Trace a 2-inch by 1 ½ inch rectangle onto felt. Round the top of the triangle for the top of the puppet
2. Glue the sides and the top rounded area to complete the "blank" finger puppet
3. Allow the children to glue the wiggle eyes on, glue feathers or yarn for hair and pom-poms for ears and/or tail
SUGGESTIONS: These puppets are very easy to draw freehand or you can use small patterns from coloring books as well! Perhaps you could make a bunny for Easter or if you are reading about bears, dinosaurs or whatever use that idea and make a pattern to go along with the applicable theme!
