Today we are making sock puppets with Kelly, our CMOSC Art Studio Coordinator 🎨! Follow the steps in this video to make your own characters out of a (preferably clean) sock and other decorative materials you might have around the house. Activity is recommended for ages 5+.
Ideas or Inquiries:
Use simple craft supplies and a sock to create a puppet. Once finished, spend time making up their character/voice/personality, and possibly put on a puppet show!
Vocabulary:
Imagine, create, character, voice, personality
Supplies:
Socks
Hot glue gun
Scissors
Craft Supplies (ideas below):
Felt
Wire
Needle/thread
Yarn
Rickrack
Pipe cleaners
Buttons
Craft poms
Ribbon
Googly eyes
Plastic pearls
Directions:
Put the sock on your hand to get a feel for where the mouth will be. The mouth will be created by the crease between your fingers and thumb.
Once you have a feel for how you want to hold the puppet and mark where you want the eyes to go with the marker.
Use your imagination to create your puppet!
Use hot glue to attach craft supplies to their puppet.
Connections:
Create a story and put on a puppet show! Or, have your puppet read one of your story books out loud!
