Description: Want to have Glover & Mitty join you on your next Pretends adventure? It's easy! We'll show you how you can turn an ordinary glove and mitten into your very own Pretends pals!
Materials: An old glove
An old mitten
4 googly eyes or buttons
2 small pom poms or pieces of cloth/felt for noses
2 small pieces of red felt for tongues
2 smaller pieces of red felt for eyebrows
Glue
Piece of ribbon or colored rope
Safety: REMEMBER THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS WORK UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION. SOMETIMES WE USE OBJECTS THAT COULD BE HARMFUL, LIKE SCISSORS, SO DON'T EVER ATTEMPT TO MAKE THESE PUPPETS ALONE.
Instructions: Start with Glover. Place your hand into your glove. Youll want to keep it in there so its easier to place and attach the facial features.
With the help of an adult, attach one googly eye to the middle knuckles of the two middle glove fingers using glue.
For his nose, use glue to stick your small pom pom right at the tip of the gloves middle fingers. This way, it will be in the right place when you close your hand.
For the tongue, take a small piece of red felt and stick it on the thumb of the glove. Let everything dry.
Now Glover is ready to play! Wear the finished glove puppet with your outer fingers sticking out and your middle fingers folded down and together. Bring the middle fingers to and from the thumb to make him talk!
Now its Mittys turn. Place your hand into your mitten.
With the help of an adult, glue two eyes next to each other towards the tips of the mittens fingers. Leave room for the nose underneath.
Glue your two pieces of felt for the eyebrows above the eyes.
Glue Mittys pom pom nose just beneath her eyes.
Glue her tongue to the thumb of the mitten.
Glue a tied piece of ribbon above Mittys eyebrows for a bow and let everything dry.
Roll your knuckles together so Mittys face shows in the front and move your thumb back and forth from her face to make her talk. Now she can play with you and Glover!
Thank for the ideas, will be implemented for my Sunday school project
