Instructions for Making These Hand Puppets
Make sure to ask your parents first before cutting up one of your toy stuffed animals. To make this, you need to ask an adult to slit the underside of the animal carefully (sketch a) with scissors to make the opening about same size of opening in a glove. Remove part of stuffing from the front legs and neck. Shape the remaining stuffing to accommodate hand. Sew the glove into the opening (sketch b), with your index finger in neck, and thumb and middle finger in the front legs. To work the puppet, insert your hand into the glove and hold the puppet in your arms (sketch c). Wiggle the head and front legs of the animal to animate the puppet.
