I quickly grabbed some old socks -- including one that apparently had walked through paint drips during our remodel -- plus some felt, glue, markers, googly eyes, etc.
We tried on the sock to figure out where the "mouth" would be and marked where eyes should be.
We added googly eyes, felt ears, noses, and tongues.
We had fun trying on the puppets and playing while we put them together. All the playing though meant we kept the decorating pretty simple. Here's our puppets and Isaac playing :)
Next time, I think I might try to make puppets out of a few winter gloves that are missing their mate -- I think it would be fun to add faces, hair, etc to each finger.
They turned out so cute!
