Tonight Carson had an assignment from school to make a hand puppet for Black History Month. He chose David Ortiz from the Boston Red Sox. I figured we might as well kill two birds with one stone and all make hand puppets.
We are extremely fortunate that I have an arsenal of craft supplies at our house. I have huge amounts of stuff stored in the garage that I have always thought I would use. Tonight the kids were amazed that I was able to pull out 6 year old felt hand puppet forms from the garage. What can I say??? It was back in the day where everyone was sending their kids off to camp for the summer, and I thought I could do my own camp.
Sometimes I feel like Michelle Pfeiffer in One Fine Day. Everything that is needed for a super-hero costume or a puppet, in this case, is in my garage verses her purse. Dang, now if only I could look like her!!
The making of MARIO!!
I like plotting all of my pieces before hot gluing!!
