HOW TO MAKE DUCK FINGER PUPPETS

Supplies:

• orange, yellow, green and brown cardstock paper
• 3/4-inch circle hole punch
• green and yellow mini cupcake liners
• googly eyes
• scissors
• glue

Directions:

1. You’ll need two circles for your duck finger puppets. One that is about 3 1/4-inches for the body and one that is 2 1/2-inches for the head. If you’re making a traditional yellow duck, use yellow cardstock paper and if you’re making a mallard duck, use green and brown cardstock paper.

2. Punch two 3/4-inch holes in the bottom of the larger circle. These are the holes for your fingers.

3. Glue the head circle onto the body circle. Cut out a beak form your orange cardstock paper and glue it on the duck, together with googly eyes.

4. Cut your mini cupcake liner in half and then one of those pieces in half again. Glue the two pieces onto your duck for wings. 

Now your duck finger puppet is all ready for play! Simply place two fingers inside the puppet holes and you have an adorable duck puppet. Have him walk around and say “Quack, Quack” or fly high up in the air.
