If you’ve ever found the odd sock or have an old pair of gloves that you can’t give away, but don’t want to stick in your recycle box, then do visit this site: http://www.freekidscrafts.com . It’s got incredible ideas about recycling stuff into crafts, and there’s lot to keep the kids busy (we have one whole week of spring break with no school or activities lined up, so I know I’ll be visiting this site pretty often!).

We copied finger puppets from their site and as soon as I figure out how to download my camera pics, I’ll upload them onto the site. The instructions are as follows and you can visit their site to get a whole lot more ideas:

 Supplies

Rubber glove
Scissors
White glue
Small white dot stickers
Marker pens
Yarn scraps

InstructionsCut the fingers from a rubber glove.
Draw faces on the small white stickers.
Use the yarn scraps to prepare some fancy hair-do’s for your finger puppets.
Stick them on using white glue. This is quite easy if you peg some clothespegs along the side of a box, then place your puppets on the pegs to keep them steady and upright.

Give it a go!
