I was looking for a fun craft I could make with my boys to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Â We had bought a fun craft pack at the dollar store that included pom poms, googly eyes and pipe cleaners. Â I instantly thought that finger puppets would be fun. Â While it ended up being too challenging a craft to make with my almost 4 year olds, they loved the finished product!
Supplies for Love Bug Finger Puppets:
- coloured pom poms of various sizes
- pipe cleaners
- small googly eyes
- hot glue gun
- scissors that can cut pipe cleaners
Directions:
Wrap pipe cleaner around your finger until tightly wound around your finger. Â Cross excess pipe cleaner over so that the wound pipe cleaner does not unravel. Â (do this a second time to make a thicker puppet like the example on the right with the pink body).
Hot glue a pom pom on for the head, then glue on googly eyes.
Attach either pom poms or cut and shaped pipe cleaner on the head.
Cut and shape pipe cleaners into a heart and glue to the back to form it’s wings.
Then, get ready to play!
My favourite part of this project was that it cost only a few cents. Â Our craft package from the dollar store cost $1.25 and could have made 25 puppets! Â A quick, easy and fun craft.
Happy Valentine’s Day to you and your love bugs.
