I was watching Martha Stewart Crafts again and she made these bug finger puppets that were very cute. So, I searched her site to find them and found lots of other puppet directions as well. As soon as I have my sewing machine with me again, the bug finger puppets might be fun to do.
In the meantime I could make these felted finger puppets because no sewing is needed, just felt & fleece, soap, water, & glue.
And these origami puppets seem kinda fun to do. Although, I really think she would destroy these now. It might be better to do when she gets older (with her.)
And here are some cute paper bag puppets.
Fun, Fuzzy Sock puppets seem kinda cool.
She did have a few other puppet instructions, but I didn't care for them as much.
There was one pattern on her site that used the leftover mitten/glove from a missing pair, but it didn't make them permanent. I thought it would be neat to actually have mittens that were puppets. She might think those are fun. So, I started a search online to find something.
This pattern turns store mittens (or you could make your own if you wanted) into puppets by knitting pieces to add to them to make them into a dog, cat, girl, boy, or mouse puppet mittens. I was thinking I should try to convince my mom to make these for the grandkids next Christmas. She reads this blog, so if she likes this idea, maybe she will think about doing it. I was trying to find something that was all knit or crocheted, but I was unable to find a free pattern online for that. But the one I did find was cute and less labor intensive.

Ooooh! I found these too. On MS.com....they are felt puppet mittens.
I was already thinking that next year for xmas I might make Isabel a pair of mittens from fleece ( I have a pattern at the MN home for that), but I could add fleece to it and make a pair of these:
