Sock-to-puppet in one cut

What you'll need

• 1 old sock, any size
• Fabric glue
• 2 buttons or googly eyes
• Scrap felt for a tongue

Fits

Whole hand, not just a finger — great for a first project.

Steps

1. Turn the sock inside out and cut a small slit roughly one-third down from the toe.
2. Push the toe of the sock through the slit to form the puppet's upper and lower jaw.
3. Turn right-side out and glue a scrap of red or pink felt inside as a tongue.
4. Glue on buttons or googly eyes above the mouth opening.
5. Let dry flat for 15 minutes, then test opening and closing the mouth with your hand inside.
