I got the bright idea into my head the other day to make sock puppets with the kids. Considering that today was a rainy day, it provided me with the perfect opportunity to make them. Besides, I knew there was a special reason for keeping those odd socks.
The kids were very excited and intrigued when I told them that I had a button box. They loved sifting through the various types of buttons and choosing which ones to use as eyes and noses for their puppet. I roped Peter into making a puppet too. The table was littered with buttons, thread, felt and other bits and bobs.
After much finger pricking, and misplaced buttons, my little fellah, Mr Snufflepig, came to life.
I had great fun playing with him and the girls. They were totally convinced that Mr Snufflepig was real and carried out conversations with him and gave him kisses and cuddles. It makes me appreciate what a genius Jim Henson was.
In the meantime, Peter was still sitting at the table, tongue stuck out in concentration, creating his little protege,
Mr Ruffdog
I did make the children laugh but I will never be as good as Kevin Clash, what a legend!

what a great project.
Sounds like you all had fun!
Your last sock puppet has some personality with having two different eyes/buttons
Thanks! We said that he had googly eyes. The girls thought it was hilarious! He was the joker out of the two:)
