You will need:
Socks (tube socks, crew socks, knee high socks, striped socks… any socks will work but best to wash them first!)
Felt
Buttons
Googly eyes
Pipe cleaners
Yarn/String
Pom poms
Shoelaces
Straws
Markers
Jewels
Colored paper
Fabric

For assembly, it’s useful to have
Craft glue

Next, simple use your imagination to make eyes, mouths, hair, noses, tongues, whiskers, antenna, tails. Flower petals, crowns, snouts, wings… anything that will bring your puppet character to life. Then, try some story-telling, act out a book or play, or put on a puppet show and invite the whole family. Or, give it as a gift—nothing makes a better give than something you create so consider giving a friend a sock puppet that looks like their favorite pet or even like them! Get creative and enjoy!
