• Hand puppets

Draw a face on your clenched fist. By moving the thumb up and down you have a mouth to speak.

• Plastic cup puppets

Use a clean plastic cup. Turn it upside down and draw the face on the pot. 

Attach it to a ruler or a stick and add hair if necessary.

• Sock puppets

Put a sock on your left hand so that the fingers are in the toe area and the thumb is in the hell of the sock. This forms the mouth of the puppet.

Draw eyes and a nose with the felt-tip marker or glue buttons on for eyes. Stick cardboard ears to the back of the sock. They can be in the form of dog with long ears or a cat with small pointed ears and whiskers. A green sock can be used to make a crocodile.

• Finger puppets

Draw a face on a piece of card and stick it on your finger or draw around a shape and add pieces of material to make features.
