sock puppets... Come one now, who can resist that face? There is something about sock puppets. They are so very simple, yet full of personality. My four- and six-year-olds have been asking for a puppet. This weekend I sat down and in less than 30 minutes produced two custom designed sock puppets for my boys.
The best thing about this project is that you do not need to have any real sewing skill, just a sock and some thread. Have your children pitch in on the puppet design. Have them donate a sock to the cause. Next, pick through fabric scraps and buttons and add ears, noses, mouths, whatever your heart's content. On the deck for next weekend is turning an old sheet or cardboard box into a puppet stage.

This is too cute. I haven't seen one of these since ZOOM!
That is one cute sock puppet :o)
This is the cutest sock puppet ever ... I confess I have some "sock puppet" pot handlers from my grandma that I just love - never use them so they stay cute. I'll have to play with one today. Ha.
thanks everyone! sadly, the sock puppets have been terribly neglected by my sons. i guess they preferred the concept of playing puppets more than the actual playing. looks like i'll be adopting two sock puppets for my own entertainment now.
