FRINGE SOCK PUPPETS

After a fun-filled night out at the Adelaide Fringe keep the fun going by creating a mini sock puppet show in your lounge room!

You will need:
• • • • •
– Odd socks
– A cardboard box
– Craft glue
– Stanley knife
– Fabric, wool, craft foam or anything you can nd around the house to embellish your characters!

STEP 1.

With the help of an adult, carefully cut your cardboard box to include a stage at the front, and remove the back cardboard for your sock puppets to access the stage!

STEP 2.

Paint your box and fit your stage with curtains and other decorations.

STEP 3.

Wear one of the socks on your hand to plan where you would like your character’s face to be. Place the end of the sock inside of itself to create a mouth shape.

STEP 4.

Create your clothes and accessories for your character… can you guess who we’re making today?
