Activity: DIY Hand Puppet
It’s easy to make your own hand puppet out of a sock, fabric, or paper! We include instructions for each type below.
- Sock hand puppet: This is the easiest option, but leaves you the fewest character options since it is one shape. All you need to do to make it is to take a sock and glue on eyes, hair, a mouth, and any other features you’d like to include.
- Fabric hand puppet: With fabric, you have more control than a sock over the shape and style of your puppet. Simply cut two identical shapes out of fabric and glue or sew them together to make your puppet! Add things like hair, eyes, buttons, and other features as you wish.
- Paper hand puppet: To make a paper hand puppet, cut four identical squares of paper. Take two of the pieces of cut paper and glue or staple them on three sides. Do the same with the other two squares. One square will hold your thumb, and the other will hold your other four fingers. Attach the two hand pockets — they should open up like a mouth. You can then add eyes, ears, a nose, a tongue, and any other features you’d like!
