This document provides instructions for making little puppet figures out of old socks and rice. The materials needed are old socks, rice, scissors, plastic bands, plastic eyes, buttons, and a marker. The instructions are to fill the sock with rice to form the body and head, tie it with bands, and add eyes, buttons, and a drawn face. The finished puppets can be taken home as new friends.

anymore)

3. HOW WE MAKE THE LITTLE PUPPETS
STEP 1
We throw the rice inside
the sock …
…up to the middle in
order to form the body.

4. STEP 2
When the sock is half
full …
….we tie it with a
plastic band or a
string.

5. STEP 3
…and we tie it with
another plastic band.
We fill again with
rice to make the
head ..

6. STEP 4
We cut the colourful
sock or another
white…
… to make a scarf and
the cap.

7. STEP 5
We stick plastic eyes and buttons, draw a mouth and
eyebrows if we want.
