B saw this Sponge Finger Puppet craft in his Highlights High Five Magazine and gave it a try.
To make a sponge finger puppet, cut a hole in the bottom of the sponge to fit your finger. Cut different shapes from construction paper and glue them on. That’s it! Simple and easy.
I think this would be an interesting way to make puppets of characters from a story and retell it (I’m thinking Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Three Little Pigs, etc.).

I like this idea! My girls were just making sock puppets yesterday and performing for baby brother. I love the sponge idea and your suggestions for making characters.
Enjoy your Tuesday!Jen
