Recently, Ellie asked me if we could make sock puppets. I just happened to have some socks that I was getting rid of, and I had the same thing in mind. I Googled "sock puppet tutorial" and I found great instructions for a no-sew sock puppet here at Simple Up. The puppets came out fantastic. We just used old socks, scraps, and craft stuff that we had around the house. (And a hot glue gun.) Ellie wanted to make a prince and a princess, and we had a little puppet show after we made them.
Ellie named the princess "Buttercup." (Now she wants to watch "The Princess Bride." Is that okay for a four-year-old?)
The prince...
And the puppet show...we use one of our chairs as the stage whenever we do puppet shows...
