Sock Puppets

You will need:

a clean sock

buttons

yarn

yarn needle

felt pieces or material scraps

Fabric pens or markers

odds and ends

Steps:

  1. Put your hand in the sock and decide where the mouth and head are going to be.

  2. Make the following parts:

 Mouth: Make a mouth or lips out of felt or draw with markers

Make button or felt eyes, glue or sew on.

Draw or make a fabric nose.

Make ears (hint: Cut ovals and sew one end to the sock on each side)

Add yarn hair or fabric hair ( fabric hair can be made by cutting a rectangle of fabric and cutting 1/4 inch strips to one inch of the edge)     

Babysitters:  You can cut the parts ahead of time to make it easier for the kids depending on their ages.

Always be careful when using scissors or needles.
