This cute puppet comes complete with a snowy mound to peek out of on February 2.

 

What you need:

-          Brown felt or paper

-          Pink felt or paper

-          White felt or paper

-          Googly eyes

-          Paper cup

-          Cotton balls

-          Scissors

-          Glue

-          Wooden craft stick

-          An adult assistant

What you do:

Cut a 2” wide heart, two ½” circles, and a 1” x 4” rectangle out of brown felt or paper. Cut a ¼” triangle out of pink felt or paper. Cut a ¼” square out of white felt or paper and cut a small slit in the middle of one side.

Glue the two small brown circles onto the bottom of the heart, on either side of the point. These will form the ears. Glue the end of the white square without the slit onto the top of the heart in the middle. These will form the teeth. Flip the heart over so that the ‘ears’ and the ‘teeth’ are peeking out from behind the back. Glue pink triangle just above the teeth to form the nose. Glue two googly eyes above the nose. The head of your groundhog is now complete!

Glue the head onto one end of the brown rectangle and then glue a craft stick onto the back of the body. Your groundhog puppet is ready!

To create your groundhog’s home, cut the bottom out of a paper cup. Cover the sides of the cup with glue and stick cotton balls onto the cup, covering it.

 

 

When all the glue is dry, hold your groundhog’s hole in one hand and your groundhog puppet in the other. Have him pop his head through the hole. Do you see a shadow?
