Introduction:
The puppets they are a wonderful method of auditory and visual stimulation. Our children will greatly enjoy everything they see and hear, helping their development of your sensory stimulation, contributing to verbal development as an expressive technique since it allows them to improve their language, increase children's passive vocabulary, increase their creativity through imagination (pretend) and improve children's expression in terms of conflict resolution and needs.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Place two balls of polyester filling inside the sock to form the two eyes and another ball for the nose. (they can be previously marked with a marker) and sewn on the outside of the sock.
2. Trace 4 small circles and 4 strips on the black felt and cut out, (iris of the eyes, eyelashes)
3. Trace and cut out on the red felt 2 tongues for the puppets.
4. Sew the black circles in the eyes to represent the iris, the eyelashes behind the eyes and the tongue inside the mouth at the bottom of the mouth.
