Make an Owl Puppet Click the photo on the left for a larger picture. These were easy to put together - construction paper triangles and circles for the face, button eyes, furry felt bellies and pipe cleaner feet, and fall leaves for wings. There is no pattern for this puppet, but it consists mainly of triangles, an oval, feet, and leaves. You can use real leaves or construction paper leaves using a pattern such as this one from kidsdomain.com. This puppet is from Amy Glassenberg's blog.

A Tablecloth Puppet Stage - We went on a Mission Trip this past summer and used sock puppets and a plastic tablecloth for a stage. Two people held the cloth as there was no place to tie it. We did put eyelets around the out side edges just in case we could tie it to something. We also carried some thin rope to use if needed. It worked well and was easy to carry 20 Ways to use a Puppet Some excellent ideas for using puppets in a variety of ways
