Introduction
- Puppets are a simple and quick craft for children on a rainy day. The children get to assemble the puppets, and then use their creativity in performing a puppet show. It's also a great activity for a birthday party.
Step 1: What You'll Need
- A basic puppet can be made by using a bag or a sock as a base and gluing on features such as eyes and hair that are made from scrap items you probably have around the house. Very young children can make paper bag puppets with just a bag and a crayon.
Step 2: Making Puppet Tips and Tricks
- Save socks with lost mates for puppets.
- You can use cardboard to make sock puppets more rigid, giving the "heads" unique shapes.
- Wallpaper sample books, magazines, and wrapping paper scraps are all good sources for decorative additions to your puppets.
- Ping pong balls make large pop-out eyes for sock puppets.
