Wee Bessie loved all animals.  In this activity you will make a sock puppet.  You could try to make a fox, a dog, a mouse or a bird.

You will need:

An old sock

Wool

Scissors

Needle or glue

Paper

Felt pens

STEP 1

Choose a sock and put your hand right down to the bottom. Have fun moving your hand to make a mouth.  Try moving the mouth to match your voice.  Try using different accents.

STEP 2

Draw eyes on the sock or on a paper and either sew them on or use glue. Think about the animal you are making and the shape of their eyes.

STEP 3

Draw ears on some card or material and either sew them on or use glue.  Draw whisker if your puppet needs them.

STEP 4

Play with your puppet again and try out a voice for your character.  Create a little story about your animal character.  Give your family a performance.

Challenge

Create a home for your puppet. Do a search online to find out about where they live.  You could start with a box and find natural things outside to create the home.
