These felt finger puppets are just adorable to play with and have so many uses. Get the older children to make their own and set up a stage to tell the story or use them as your story props, very young groups will also appreciate them for free play time.
Disclosure : This is an extra craft posted by request. I had struggled to source good craft felt in my location, so used a mixture of thicknesses and scraps.
To make this craft, you will need the 1-page template printout, a pen capable of drawing on material, scissors, various colours of felt, craft glue and some hot glue or needle and thread.
Cut out your pattern pieces.
Lightly glue each piece onto the felt in the colour chosen, then cut out.
Remove the template piece when done cutting.
Once you have all the pieces for a character, you can start attaching them together.
The bodies are attached around the edges. For the centurion, that means folding the large piece in half.
To make the headpiece, you must sandwich the headpiece into the body as shown.
Tip – don’t want to give your kids hot glue or needles, pre-make the craft to this point.
Finish the helmet by cutting the plume into a fringe.
The other decorations, including the faces, can be added with paper glue.
Add on eyes and mouths with a pen.
The pattern contains a centurion, Jesus, a servant and a Jewish elder.
