VeggieTales Puppets
Difficulty: Easy
Parental supervision is recommended
Encourage kids to play with their food by helping them make these felt Veggie Tales puppets. Everyone can have fun with this simple cut and paste craft.
What you'll need:
- White felt
- Black felt
- Different colors of felt as needed for various characters
- Scissors
- Tacky glue
- Ruler
How to make it:
- Measure your child's hand.
- Add four inches to that measurement.
- This new measurement is the minimum width to make your puppet.
- Cut out 2 shapes of the character you wish to create. For example, if
you were making Bob the Tomato, you would cut out two circles. - Use the white felt, black felt, and appropriate colors to make the face
of the character. Again, if you were making Bob, you could cut out a red
nose, black and white eyes, white mouth, and the green stem. - Glue these pieces to one of the shapes you previously cut out.
- Glue the 2 shapes (front and back) together by applying glue around
the edge of one piece and attaching it to the other. MAKE SURE YOU LEAVE A
HOLE FOR YOUR CHILD'S HAND. - Have fun with your new puppets!
Tips:
Make several different VeggieTales puppets and let the children act out the different videos or make up their own stories.
