Josie Loza: How To: Make your own puppet

What you need:

Sock

Marker

Buttons

Yarn

Needle

Thread

Scissors

Directions:

1. Put the sock on your kid’s hand and push the toe of the sock into the palm of her hand to create the mouth.

2. Use the marker to dot where the buttons will be sewed on for eyes.

3. Sew the buttons on where the dots are.

4. Cut pieces of yarn for the puppet’s hair. Will your puppet sport a long hairdo or a wash and go cut?

5. Gather the yarn together in the middle and sew it to the sock by repeatedly looping the thread around the yarn and pushing the needle through the sock.
