Animal Finger Puppet!

Start up and design a performance at home or at school using your own animal characters as finger puppets!  Very fun and easy to create !

                               Materials

• Sewing notions
• Permanent colored markers
• Cotton balls

                                                                 a zebra finger puppet: 

                                                                ( captured and done by me ) 

                        Instructions

1.  For each puppet, first cut out a pair of 1 5/8- x 3-inch felt rectangles to serve as the front and back of the animal.
2.  MR HORSE: For ears, cut out a pair of felt ovals (about 1 1/2 inches long). Fold them in half lengthwise and glue together the lower edges. Glue the bases of the ears to the back of the puppet. Add a fringed forelock, white mane and rounded muzzle. Use a marker to draw jawlines and nostrils.
   

   

   
   
3. BABY BIRD: Cut out a triangular felt bird beak and glue it in place. Add plumage.
4. SPOTTED HEIFER: Make cow ears following the same steps used for the horse. Glue on a pink muzzle. Color bold black spots on the ears and face.
   

   

   
   
5. PINK PIGGY: For floppy pig ears, use 2-inch felt circles. Attach them as previously described for the horse. For pig cheeks and a snout, glue on 1-inch felt circles.
6. WOOLEY LAMB: Attach ears horizontally to the front of the lamb. Glue a bit of cotton "wool" to the top of its head and draw on the face.

   
   

   ENJOY!
