Here’s another easy craft idea, one you can do with the kids.
One afternoon, tired of hearing the words “What can I do mom?” come out of my five year old daughter’s mouth, I decided to help her make some sock puppets. I found two mate-less socks and gathered some random materials; some buttons and pennies for eyes, ribbon, a pink balloon for the tongue, a coffee filter…just stuff I found.
My husband used the coffee filter to make a chef’s hat for one of the puppets, while I turned the other sock into a french girl. I made her a little hat and used crinkle packaging shred for her hair. I cut a tongue shape from the pink balloon and glued it inside her mouth, letting my daughter help with the project.
In about twenty minutes we had two new characters to bring to life, “Monroe” the chef and “Fiona”. And the best part was it didn’t cost us a dime, just a couple of pennies. Fiona needed to see after all.
