First, I needed a puppet. I found an old shirt, baby wash cloth, and t-shirt scraps from a quilt I made. I cut the flannel shirt into large rectangles, then, cut out small squares from my t-shirt scraps.
Using my hot glue gun, I glued the large rectangles together to form a sort of "bag" to fit over his hand. Then I folded my squares into ear shapes, glued the folds down, then glued them to my rectangle bag. It needed a mouth, so I cut a whole into the flannel and glued on my wash cloth. Then I added on the googley eyes. I'm sorry I don't have picture tutorials. It was a rather rudimentary puppet. We'll be doing sock puppets in the future and I'll post the tutorials for those.
K, loved the puppet. He named it "dog". Once we had a puppet, we needed a good showcase spot,. I had the perfect size hallway, however, I lacked tension rods, I wasn't sure what we were going to do. I chose to put holes in my wall (if you don't want to deface your home, tension rods are really good to have). I used small tacks and a hammer and hammered the blanket into the wall. The holes were small and low and will probably go unnoticed by guests.
K had a blast putting on his puppet show. It was a fun way to spend some indoor time. Puppet shows are perfect for rainy day inside.
