How to Make a Puppet
If you have one sock but not the other, what can you do? Have some fun and make a
puppet! A puppet is a toy you put on your hand. Learn how to make one with a sock.
Things you need:
• One sock
• Glue
• A pair of scissors
• 2 buttons
• Colored paper
Directions:
1. Put your hand inside the sock. Practice opening and closing the sock with
your hand so it looks like a mouth talking.
2. Now that you know where the puppet's mouth is, you need to decide where
you want to put the eyes. Take your hand out of the puppet and glue two
buttons where you want the eyes to be.
3. With scissors, cut the colored paper into long pieces. This is the puppet’s
hair.
4. Take one of the long pieces of colored paper and put some glue on one end.
Glue it above the puppet’s eyes. Do this for each piece of paper. Now your
puppet has hair.
5. Your puppet is done. Now you can play with your puppet and pretend that it
can talk. You can even put on a show for your family and friends!
