How to make finger puppets step by step?
For each finger puppet, trace a circle onto a foam sheet in the child’s choice of face color. Cut the circle from the foam sheet.
To the head, attach pieces of chenille stem in the preferred hair color. Then, add the wiggly eyes and use the permanent marker to draw a mouth. Allow to dry completely before attaching the head to the body.
To make the body, cut a rectangle from a foam sheet that is approximately 3 x 4 inches. Place a line of glue down one side and press it to the other side. Use clothespins or binder clips to hold the ends together until it is dry.
Once dry, attach the head to the body of the finger puppet. If desired, decorate with colorful sequins.
Allow the craft to dry completely before playing.

Superhero Finger Puppet Show
There are so many ways to put on a puppet show! You can use the Puppets from this book or make your own. You can even use sock puppets or paper bag puppets if you’d like. Here are some ideas for putting together a great superhero finger puppet show:
- Use different voices for each character. Try using high-pitched voices for the girls and deep voices for the boys, or vice versa!
- Pick out some props that would be useful in your story and use them during your performance (like an umbrella if it’s raining outside).
- Make sure everyone knows their lines before starting–you don’t want anyone getting confused!
Superhero Finger Puppet Crafts
Superhero Finger Puppets are a great way to craft with your kids. They’re also a great way to have fun with your friends and family. Here are some ideas for crafts you can do with these finger puppets:
Make a superhero storybook by creating different scenes using the finger puppets, then telling each scene as you go through it. For example, if you want your hero to be rescuing someone from danger, set up the scene with their finger puppet on one side of the page and then flip over another piece of paper so that only half of it shows (this will be used later).
Then tell them about what happened in this scene–how did our hero get there? Did he/she need help from anyone else? What happened next? Was there any other action involved? How did they escape safely at last? You could even add some special effects like explosions or smoke coming out from behind where their hand would be if they held up their index finger.
Superhero Finger Puppet Decorations
Superhero Finger Puppets are the perfect decoration for any superhero fan. They can be used to decorate a party, as a gift, or just for fun. Here are some ideas on how you can use these cute little finger puppets in your home:
- Make a garland with them! Simply thread the strings through each hole and tie them together at the end. You could also hang them from ceiling lights or lampshades using fishing lines or string if you don’t want to damage your walls with nails or tacks.
- Use them as table decorations by placing one on each place setting along with some other superhero-themed props like capes and masks (you can buy these online). This will help set the tone for an exciting event where everyone feels like they’re part of something special.
And that’s a wrap, folks! Superhero Finger Puppets have officially taken the crafting world by storm. Not only are they a fun way to unleash your inner superhero, but they’re also a great way to keep your hands busy and your mind engaged.
