Handmade Puppet Craft Make your own "Ugly Doll" out of a single
mitten or glove. - Master puppeteer:Your kid. - A single mitten
or glove that's missing its mate - Permanent markers - Pipe
cleaners - Buttons and googly eyes - Fabric and yarn scraps -
Fabric glue - A hot-glue gun and glue sticks:Kids and hot glue
don't mix, so make sure you do all the gluing. - Stuffing
material:Pick up some fiberfill or just raid the medicine
cabinet for cotton balls. - Plastic sewing needle - Chopstick or
knitting needle - Send your kid on a mission in the coat closet
to find an old, mateless glove or mitten. Light-colored fabrics
work best. - Then lay out the markers, buttons, googly eyes,
yarn and fabric scraps and invite your kid to decorate the
mitten like a monster. He can use yarn for hair, buttons for
eyes or a nose, the fabric scraps for tentacles or pipe cleaners
as antennae. Let his imagination go to work, while you get to
work hot-gluing everything into place. - Next, help him fill the
glove or mitten with stuffing
