Finger Puppets
Paper Finger Puppets
1. Use flat paper coin wrappers obtained from a bank. OR Cut 2 pieces of paper 3˝ square. Fold each one in thirds and tape it shut. These are the “finger holders” and a finger will slide inside each one. (It is important that children make the “finger holders” first so they can draw the appropriate size heads for their puppets.)
2.
Cut out heads of animals or people from old greeting
cards or discarded story books.
(Stickers can also be used.)
3.
Glue the head on finger holder.
4.
Put a finger puppet on the pointer finger of each
hand. Two characters are now ready to
have a conversation about whatever they want to talk about!
