Puppet Movie

Quiet on the set, and ACTION! Create your own sock puppets and film your own movie.

What You’ll Need:

  • Colorful socks (we used fuzzy ones for extra texture and to look like fur)
  • Decorations for your puppets (such as pipe cleaners, pom balls, felt, stickers, gems, etc.)
  • Googly eyes
  • Scissors
  • Craft glue (we found everything was easier to attach with a hot glue gun, but ALWAYS HAVE AN ADULT HELP YOU!)
  • Cell phone with a camera or handheld video camera

Instructions:

Table full of colorful decorations for each sock to make puppet.

Step 1: Select your decorations for each sock and lay them out next to your sock(s), knowing where you want them attached.

Step 2: HAVE AN ADULT HELP YOU. Have them use the hot glue gun to attach the items where you would like on the sock(s). Or use your craft glue to attach your items, but make sure you allow time for it to fully dry.

Step 3: Come up with your movie storyline. Place the socks on your hands (you might need a friend to help you if you have multiple sock puppets).

Step 4: Have an adult help you film your movie using their cell phone video function or a handheld video camera. Congratulations! You’re a movie producer!
