Hello friends,
Good evening...I'm just sitting here in the living room relaxing with my husband, son, and puppy-girl, Gracie. She's 13 years old, but still very puppy-like for the most part. It's been a full day of housework, gardening, and alittle card making. By 8:00pm, I try to just 'sit' and relax.
Earlier this Spring, our 3 year old grandson, Sawyer, was sick with a virus for several days. I wanted to send him a Get Well card so he could get some fun mail. But I really don't like to send cards without something fun in it...either a letter or a small gift.
I remembered a paper puppet tutorial I had 'pinned' on Pinterest long ago, and gathered up the supplies to put one together to slip in his card, quickly before the mail lady came.
I found my tutorial at familyfun.com but since that website isn't working tonight, I'll post the tutorial from another website at the end of my post.
You just need 1-2 pieces of paper, some glue, and a marker. I also punched some 1/2" white paper eyes and used a hole punch with black paper for the pupils. Here's how Sawyer's Puppy Puppet turned out.
This little puppet can also be a frog with a change up in eyes (and no ears) as you'll see in the tutorial. It's easy to whip up a few to have on hand, for sending a little gift across the miles to a favorite child. These would also be fun to make with your grandchildren, kids you babysit, or your own kiddos.

Thank you for stopping by! Here's hoping for a good night's sleep after last night's fiasco...Gracie is afraid of storms, and woke me up many times last night because of that. :)
Good night from Gracie and I in Southern Indiana,
Donna
