Sock puppet (dog)
The best sock puppets are homemade and slightly eccentric. Don't go spending money on same-same craft supplies; don't even leave the house. Just use an old piece of clothing for spare parts and make your own one-of-a-kind dog puppet.
What You Need:
- One brown or black sock
- Needle and thread
- Craft glue
- 1 x black button (nose)
- 2 x other buttons (eyes)
- Scraps of brown corduroy for the ears and eye-spot.
- Small scrap of red material or felt for the tongue.
- Scissors
Activity:
- Put the sock on your hand so that your thumb is in the heel and your fingers are in the toe.
- Test out making it talk and take note of where its eyes, tongue, nose and ears will be.
- Cut a small circle out of the brown corduroy material (for an 'eye-spot' as in: the dark patch around the dog's eye)
- Use the craft glue to glue the eye-spot in place.
- Use the needle and thread to sew on two buttons for eyes- sewing one of them on top of the eye-spot.
- Using the brown corduroy material cut out two floppy ears.
- Sew on the ears.
- Using your red material, cut out a tongue and sew it into place.
- Sew the black button on for a nose.
- Voila! Dog puppet!
