Easy Finger Puppets
Kids Crafts Article by KarensVariety.com

Children can use their imagination to create finger puppets using a cardboard roll decorated with scrap fabric and felt. The size of the puppet can be adjusted by making a roll small enough to fit on one or two fingers, or large enough to fit on a child's hand. Make puppets to resemble animals, people, or characters or your child can create a puppet using his or her imagination.

1. Cut a piece of bristol board or similar thickness cardboard to the required length and width adding a half inch. Roll and glue the ends. Use plain cardboard to cover with fabric, or use coloured cardboard.
2. Cut a circle of cardboard an inch larger than the open end of the roll. Clip edges, fold over the open end and glue.
3. Cut a piece of fabric and glue around the roll and covered end. If you have used coloured cardboard, this step can be omitted.
4. Now decorate. Use felt for ears, eyes, nose and tongue. Substitute, beads, sequins and other decorations if you wish. 5. Cut a piece of fabric and glue around the bottom, ruffling the top as you glue, to represent the body.
