Today, I present my finger puppet glove. I used to have a puppet mitt at my last library and I found I really missed have that resource here. So I made my own!
This was easily done with four simple things:
1. A hot glue gun
2. Magic stretch gloves
3. Felt stickers (I don’t know why only the owls are available online…)
4. Velcro dots
To get the gloves ready, I hot-glued a Velcro dot to each finger. I did originally try just Tacky Glue and the dot did come off after a few uses. To make sure the hot glue didn’t go through the thin layer of the glove, I used a piece of cardboard and kept it inside where the finger should go.
To make the felt stickers work with the glove, I used the back on the sticker as my pattern. I cut a piece of felt the size of the sticker, sewed a Velcro dot onto the back and glued the felt piece to the back of the sticker.
I wound up doing five different sets: monkeys, frogs, owls, birds, and snowflakes:
All in all, a little bit of a time consuming project, but highly cost-effective!

I LOVE this! I don’t have space for a flannel board in the room I use for my baby/toddler Story Times – this is the perfect solution! Thanks!
