How to Make Bibly Story Thumb Puppets

To make this, you need to draw the features of the face on the front of your thumb as seen in sketch a. Place one corner of the handkerchief or cloth between your fingers and the palm of your hand as seen in sketch b. Wrap the rest of the handkerchief around the top and back of your thumb as in sketch c and hold in place with your small finger. This puppet is almost an "instant" visual aid, usable for many stories. Make a modern boy puppet named "Tom Thumb" by wearing a dark glove with the end of the thumb cut out (sketch d).

Email us a pic of the thumb puppets that you make and we will post them here.
