I’m going to admit, these Googly Monster Finger (or Toe) Puppets were pretty much the easiest thing I’ve ever made. Â But they’re pretty stinking cute and The Babe loved playing with them. Â So I decided to write a post about them. Â Oh and they’re a part of a fun engineering project for when you and the kids have a little more than five minutes. Â This post contains affiliate links.
Googly Monster Finger Puppet Supplies
Here’s what you need to make the puppets:
- Extra-large fuzzy pipe cleaners (One pipe cleaner makes two monsters) {affiliate}
- Googly eyes {affiliate}
- Glue gun {affiliate}
Make the Googly Monster Finger Puppets
There’s just three steps to making the puppets. Â 1) Â Cut each pipe cleaner in half. Â 2) Â Twist around your finger. Â 3) Â Glue googly eyes on with the glue gun. Â Some of our monsters had one eye, some two and some three.
Googly Monster Play
Now this is where it got really fun. Â My daughter first did the standard finger puppet play. Â Then they became toe puppets. Â And then she became a giant in the land of the monster bugs. Â Then we played hide the monsters. Â Then we did some math with them. Â And then we scared Daddy with them. Â So much play for five minutes of creation time!
And after all this fun, the monsters played engineer with this Kinetic Sculpture.
