Below you will find out how to make terry cloth, hand towel puppets named Willy and Wally. This is a pretty easy sewing project and a great first time sewing activity for children.

You will need the following materials to make Willie and Wally Bookworm Puppets:
1/2 yard green terry cloth or 1 green hand towel (makes 2 puppets)1 pink terry wash cloth
thread and needle
1 copper wire pan scraper
red and white felt or iron-on tape

How to Make the Terry Wash Cloth Puppets
To make this puppets, you need to first cut the puppets from the green terry cloth (pattern a). Cut a mouth from an 8"x5½” piece of pink terry cloth (pattern b). Sew the puppet body together, ending stitching at X (sketch c). Open the mouth section of the body piece and sew in the pink mouth section (sketch d). Turn the puppet right side out. Attach the eyes cut from felt or iron-on tape. Sew the copper wire scraper for the hair on Willie (sketch e), and a fringe of purple yarn for hair on Wally (sketch f).Email us a pic of the wash cloth puppets that you make and we will post them here.
Use the puppets with the following skit to introduce and encourage use of Sunday School books.
Teacher: This is Willie, the Bookworm. Willie say "hello."
Hello. (Move puppet's mouth; speak in a squeaky voice.)
Teacher: Willie, here is your new book. (Show puppet and pupil's book.) It has Bible stories to read, things to do, verses to learn, pictures to color. (Turn pages.)
Willie: Oh, boy! Let me have it quick.
Teacher: I want you to promise you'll take good care of this book and that you'll do the work every week.
Willie: Oh, I will! But...when will I have time? Monday is Cub Scouts. And there's always homework and piano practice. I have to have some time to play.
Teacher: Boys and girls, do you have any ideas when Willie could do his work? (Discuss.)
Teacher: And Willie, I want you to remember to bring your book with you to Sunday School each week.
Willie: Oh, yes! (Discuss how he can remember.)
If pupils are not completing their lessons or doing neat work, you use the Wally puppet. Take a copy of pupil's book and bend cover, fold pages, scribble in it, etc.
Teacher: Boys and girls, this is Willie's brother, Wally. (Hold Wally over misused copy of book.) Wally Worm! Look at this book! Why, that coloring looks like the work of a two-year-old.
Wally: (Hangs his head and speaks.) I left it on the floor and my baby brother tore it.
Teacher: I'm ashamed of you. Is this your best work? Wally: (Shakes head no.) I was in a hurry to go play "Worm-Squirm" so I just scribbled that page.
Teacher: Boys and girls, do you have any ideas about how we can get Wally to do better work? (Discuss.)
