PUPPET #3:  Peepers!
Peepers are too much fun and super simple to make a bunch!  I like to buy knit gloves at the Dollar Store to wear with the peepers.  You can make hair and all sorts of things.

PUPPET #4: Good Ole Sock Puppet
Some years, I have every child in the class design and make their own sock puppet.  It is such hit!  And then, there is making your own to go with favorite storybooks.  The potential is endless!
For how to make this swell guy go to:  Craft Jr.
