ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Vooks Storybooks Arts and Crafts for Kids: Make Your Own Sock Puppet | Little Sock
Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to have some fun making our very own sock puppets. Have you ever watched “Little Socks on Books”? It’s a story about a sock named Little Sock who goes on an adventure. Let’s make a puppet inspired by Little Sock!
To make your sock puppet, you’ll need some things from around the house. Here’s what to gather:
First, cut out a shape from the felt to make lips or a mustache for your puppet. You can make it look however you want. Be creative!
Now, decide what kind of eyes your puppet will have. You can use buttons or googly eyes. Maybe even both for a silly look!
It’s time to glue everything onto your sock. Ask your grown-up to help with the hot glue gun because it can get very hot. Glue on the eyes, mouth, and any other decorations you like.
Now, let’s make your puppet extra special. You can add yarn for hair, a pipe cleaner for glasses, or even pearls for a fancy look. Use your imagination!
Once your puppet is ready, you can use it to tell stories. Maybe Little Sock is going on a new adventure to Sock City or meeting new friends. What fun stories can you create?
If you enjoyed making your sock puppet, you might like reading more stories like “Little Sock Makes a Friend.” Ask your grown-up to help you find more storybooks. It’s like having a library full of exciting tales right at home!
Have fun creating and storytelling with your new sock puppet friend!
Puppet Show Time: Gather your family or friends and put on a puppet show using your sock puppet. Think about what kind of adventure Little Sock might go on next. Maybe Little Sock visits a magical garden or meets a talking animal. Use your imagination to create a fun story and perform it for everyone. After the show, ask your audience what they liked best about the story.
Puppet Fashion Designer: Explore different ways to decorate your sock puppet by creating new outfits or accessories. Use scraps of fabric, paper, or other materials you have at home to make hats, scarves, or even tiny shoes for your puppet. Think about what Little Sock would wear on different adventures. Share your designs with a friend and ask them what they think Little Sock’s favorite outfit might be.
Story Adventure Map: Draw a map of the places Little Sock might visit on an adventure. Include fun locations like “Button Beach” or “Yarn Forest.” Use crayons or markers to make your map colorful and exciting. Once your map is ready, use your sock puppet to “travel” to each place on the map and create a story about what happens there. Share your adventure map and story with your family.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Hi, I’m Mila and I’m Kai. We just watched “Little Socks on Books.” My favorite part was when the dog was eating little socks. Well, my favorite part has to be when Little Sock sees all the other little socks in Sock City.
Today, we’re going to show you how to make your own puppet sock inspired by “Little Sock on Books.” Here’s what you’ll need to make this at home: socks, a hot glue gun (you will need your grown-up for that one), scissors, felt, yarn, a pipe cleaner, buttons, googly eyes, pearls, and whatever fun decor you have lying around your house.
**Step 1:** Cut out felt lips or a mustache. I’m going to be making lips for my puppet, but these sock puppets are all up to your own creativity, so add whatever mouth or mustache you want.
**Step 2:** Lay out your face. I want my puppet to have button eyes, but I really want my puppet to have googly eyes too—pretty wacky!
**Step 3:** Hot glue away! You are going to need your grown-up for this one because hot glue guns can get pretty hot.
**Step 4:** Add the finishing touches. I found these earrings to put on my puppet—now she is fancy! I also found these glasses to put on my puppet, and the final touch is pearls.
**Step 5:** Retell the story of Little Sock. First, he goes to the dryer. Here we go—oh no, it’s the dog! And who the dog are living socks today? I’m the mayor of Sock City!
Also, watch the sequel to the story on books, “Little Sock Makes a Friend.” If you don’t have books, what are you waiting for? It’s a kid-safe library full of storybooks brought to life. Ask your grown-up and start exploring more fun stories like these!
