Sometimes, it can be hard to find the words to describe your feelings. When we act out our feelings as a character, however, we can often explain ourselves a bit better to others. In this craft activity, you’ll make a simple hand puppet out of pipe cleaners and googly eyes. Use your imagination! Give your puppet its own special name, voice, and way of moving. You and your family members can use your puppet to create a mini play that captures how you are feeling or what you have experienced together.
In-person attendees at Hope for the Season will receive these simple puppet-making kits from MicheLee Puppets:
