Storytelling Gloves
Using the same materials and methods listed above, make a story-telling glove using each finger of the glove as a seperate puppet.
Suggested story gloves:
Five Little Speckled Frogs
Make frogs using green pom-poms for the head and 1/4" pom-poms for the eyes. Glue Wiggle eyes to the fronts of the small pom-poms.
Goldilocks and the 3 Bears
Make girl with yellow yarn hair. Make bears by gluing felt ears and muzzles to brown pom-poms. Make the porridge bowl by cutting a 1 1/2" circle of felt or foam in half and gluing it to the pinkie finger.
B-I-N-G-O
Make dog heads using 1" pom-poms for head and 1/4" pom-poms for muzzle. Glue wiggle eyes and black felt nose in place. Make ears from black felt. Mark each finger with a 1" letter to spell BINGO.
[ * If you are making a number of finger puppets, cut several 4" sections from a piece of 1" dowel or an old broomstick. Place the dowel pieces inside the glove fingers and then stick them into a piece of foam or clay to hold the fingers upright while gluing. This is easier and safer than trying to hold the glove fingers while using hot glue.]
