My daughter loves a good finger puppet, so I made these farm animal themed no sew finger puppets for my daughter. They are so cute I thought I’d share them with you. I only did four, but it would be easy to do other animals too, since they all follow the same basic formula.
Materials
various felt colors for each of your puppets
E6000 glue
black sharpie
scissors
Chicken Finger puppet
Start by making the body. Fold over the white felt in half and put your finger over the felt, draw around your finger in a tombstone shape. Cut along your line. Make sure you keep the felt folded so you cut two of these shapes.
Next, cut out the other shapes for the chicken. Cut a small orange triangle, two wings and the chicken’s comb.
Glue the wings to the edge of one of your tombstone shapes. Glue the finger shapes together using your E6000, make sure to keep it a thin line of glue around the outside. The wings should be sandwiched between your tombstones. Put some pressure on the puppet. I put a book on it for an hour.
Glue the rest of your pieces to the puppet. Use your sharpie to draw eyes.
Duck Finger Puppet
Create your duck puppet the same way you did the chicken. You only need wings and a beak. It should be a small rounded triangle.
Pig Finger Puppet
Make your tombstone shape. Cut out the details from the same pink felt. Cut two small triangles for ears, a small oval for the snout and a little tail.
Glue the tail and ears to one of your tombstones, then glue the tombstones together, make sure the tail and ears are sandwiched between them.
After the tombstone has dried, glue the oval to the top third of the puppet. Draw on the eyes and snout.
Cow Finger Puppet
Cut out the tombstone shape from white as well as the triangle ears. Next, cut out a few circular shapes from your black felt. Cut a small oval out of pink.
Glue the ears to the tombstone and then glue the tombstone pieces together with the ears sandwiched in the middle.
Glue all the black pieces to your cow. Pay attention to where the pieces go because you want the eyes to stay visible. Next, glue the oval to the cow. Use your sharpie to draw in the eyes and snout.
I will be putting these puppets in a page of my quiet book. Check out my most recent page!
