#1. Use old stuffed animals you might have lying around the house that your kids don't really play with anymore and cut a small slit down the bottom seam of the animal. Remove all the stuffing and voila you have a puppet.
#2. If you don't want to destroy any of the toys you already have you can also make puppets out of paper bags. Use the fold/flap part as the mouth. Depending on the age of your kids you could cut out pieces for them to glue on to the bag or just have them draw directly on to the bag.
Be creative with your puppets too, they can be anything or anyone your kids want them to be! Once you have your puppet your kids can have puppet shows behind a counter or a table, whatever you have available. Good times will be had all around...

Awesome idea with the stuffed animals . . . I have a bag of them in the trunk waiting to go to Goodwill because we had so many and the kids don't really play with them. I think I will take them back out and see if we've got some good puppet candidates in there. Great idea. My kids will really like this, I think.
I love puppets!! It's a good thing you can be a kid forever!!!
