Bunny Hand Puppet
Kids can make bunny hand puppets using simple garden gloves. They can use these hand puppets to enact mono plays based on the story of the Easter bunny.
Materials Required:
Canvas Garden Glove
1/4″ dowel stick
Craft glue
Assorted buttons, fabric, ribbon to decorate
Orange & green felt
Paint
Small amount of fiber fill
Jute
Black permanent marker
Steps:
Push the thumb of the canvas glove to the inside forming a pocket on the outside of the glove.
Fold the index finger and the little finger and glue to form the bunny’s arms.
Fold the tip of the middle two fingers over slightly and glue to form ear tips.
Use permanent marker to draw in the eyes, mouth, whiskers and eyebrows. Dot the nose and the cheeks.
Roll a small piece of orange felt into a cone and glue several small strips of green felt to the top to form a carrot. Insert the carrot in the thumb pocket and glue in place.
Decorate the bunny with buttons, lace, scraps of fabric glued on as desired.
Stuff the body lightly with fiberfill. Insert the dowel stick into the stuffing using a little glue on dowel stick to anchor.
