Puppets were made during my summer art class! For this project, I drew a puppet template, which the kids traced and cut out from felt. They cut out 2 pieces, a front and back. Then, I hot glued them together. The kids then cut out other pieces of felt and added googly eyes to decorate their puppet. They attached these pieces with Elmer’s glue. We added a large stick inside also to hold the puppet up. We made these really fast because we ran out of time and the kids really wanted to make puppets. I think the children did a great job!

These are great, gonna forward the link to our puppet-crazy Art teacher. She loves sock puppets the best, but I'm sure she'll get a kick out of these too
Wonderful! I love art that kids can keep creating with as imaginative play after!
I have never had my daughter make a puppet even though we play with them plenty, I really have to put it on my to do list!
