Crowley County Combined Library

Provides directions for making all kinds of puppets out of easily obtainable materials, including socks, paper rolls, boxes, spools, and even vegetables.

Anything can be turned into a puppet, you just need to know how! Based on the principles taught by traditional Indian puppeteers, each puppet in this jolly book has been made from simple everyday material. It proves that once you know the basics, it is accidents, discoveries and a sense of humour which let you create a puppet. Have a set of puppets ready? Use our playscript, or go ahead and perform your own puppet play!

Make perfect puppets from old socks, rubber gloves, cardboard, kitchen foil and ping pong balls. All the projects are simple and fun to do and can be made using everyday items found around the home.
