Description

Aimed at children 5 and under

A

Good morning and welcome to another one of our craft sessions uh today, I'm joined uh with my special guest, joe from the king's hedges family support project morning, everyone hi joe.

A

So today we are going to make a finger puppet uh for those of you that have one of our activity packs it's um activity, number four, but don't worry if you guys, don't because we'll just go through it with you, it's a really easy um craft project, uh so you should all be fine, okay, so well, first of all, we'll just show you some of our examples that we've been busy making. Just to give you.

B

A

For joe try to hold yours up there, he is you see him. That's cute and I've just gone off her yeah andrea's gone up.

B

A notch with her.

A

Oh, I got a bit. I was really proud of my cactus. I'm gonna have to keep that it's cutie, but don't worry guys you can do whatever you want. That's the joy of this is that they're your own creations, so about.

B

The process, rather than the end product, exactly.

A

Exactly okay, so for this aircraft, all you'll really need is um well white card or any scraps of card. You might have some card left over from other craft projects that you've done um some scissors, so you might need um help from an adult with cutting out your uh little creature. All right, that's cool! um I've got some felt tips and says yeah yeah, um and basically we thought it's easier to use sellotapes if you guys have got celitate that'd be great okay, so all we need to do is first of all.

A

Is um I'm going to go for a bit of red card is to go white. I think design design your creature so we'll we'll keep it quite simple.

A

Has to not spend hours making it. I'm gonna go so you want it relatively large. um Well, not too crazy, but I'm gonna. Do I'm gonna. Do a heart.

B

A

A love bug or something I don't know.

B

You know what I'm just going to go simple, I'm going to do a head again just go ahead!.

A

I'm quite lucky because I've got these sort of stick on eyes, but if you don't guys, don't worry, you can just draw some eyes on or uh get a bit of white card to make some eyes um someone pop those on there. um Oh, so I've got odd eyes now.

A

I've got the same eye: okay, mine's going to be a bit weird, but that's what.

B

I, like yeah, I might go wonky eyes as well.

A

Yeah go. This is very smiley this one having a great day.

B

Oh, I need to add the nose don't I.

A

B

A

Simple I've gone.

B

Should I make this one happy.

A

Oh, why not it's a nice sunny day.

B

A

Okay, actually, while you're doing that, I might put a little bow in its hair. Just you know why not.

B

Oh, um I was thinking of adding you could add hair. I've got a little bit of wool here, oh yeah, um oh, I could watch yes, they'll. Take that.

A

On that'd be great yeah, you can add air hair, you can add arms ears. Anything really, I'm just working on with a bit.

B

Of sellotape um there we go.

A

B

A

All right, okay, so guys uh now you've got your um your character. All you need to do now is well. It's gonna make a little um sort of a cylinder to attach to the creature to put on your finger. So all that means really is taking a bit of card like a stripper card. Really I'm going to cut that out and you might need some help for this, but it's then rolling it.

A

Up and so it's just really kind of the right size to put your finger on like this.

A

And then once you've had the size that you want, it's just to sort of fix it with some sellotape. So I probably should have said this before, but you probably should have had a little bit of stereotype on hand because.

B

Yeah I've stuck a few bits to the table. Yeah.

A

See we're pros now all.

B

B

Well, that just about fits on my little finger.

A

I'm gonna! Yes, there we go. Oh actually. I think I need a bit more sellotape it's coming down. I think it's just this heat, it's so hot. Isn't it already.

A

Right, good, yeah cool, so we've got this part of the finger the creature, and then we just need to tape it at the.

A

Back, oh, the moral, isn't you can never have too many too much cello tapes, I'm shoving loads off.

B

All right so there's mine, finished product, lovely.

A

And hello there's mine, so guys this is a really easy craft to do. You can do as many as you want take your time, decorating them, and then you could like use them to do a puppet show or anything like that. Really, hey thanks a lot guys. Hopefully, you'll have fun. Making those and we'll see you next.
