Felt Finger Puppets


You will need:
Felt in various colors googly eyes (7 mm) feathers, heavy thread, buttons, etc. scissors fabric glue or a hot glue gun

Notes: This craft is designed for teens or adults to make for younger children. If young children are helping with this craft, an adult should supervise the use of scissors and glue gun. If these are being made for very young children the googly eyes should not be used: eyes can be cut from felt and glued on instead. Instructions:
1. Cut out felt shapes for each puppet using the templates on the following pages. 2. Refer to the picture for placement of ears, beaks, etc.. 3. Ears, feathers, or any other piece that stick out from the edges of the body should be sandwiched between the two body pieces. The easiest way to do this is to figure out their placement on one body piece, glue them in place, and then glue the other body piece in place. 4. Be creative! Use the owl body, scallop the bottom of the wings, cut it out of black felt, and you have a bat. Or cut the basic body out of a crazy color, add spots and three googly eyes, and you have an alien. There are no limits!
