How to Make Fist Puppets ... the Kind That Gets Painted on Hands

To make this, you first need to draw a face on your fist as seen in sketch a - the upper lip on the side of your fist, the lower lip on your thumb, the nose on your first knuckle, and the eyes above. A wig may be made of yarn strands stitched down the center. Tape the wig to your hand or wind a few strands of yarn from the wig around your little finger. To make the puppet talk, tuck your thumb in your fist and move your thumb up and down gently. Add the tongue by sticking your thumb from your other hand between your thumb and fist.

Email us the fist puppets that you make and we will post them here.
