Kookaburra in a Tree Craft
Make this Fun Bird Puppet

By , About.com Guide

Instructions to make a puppet that looks like a kookaburra bird sitting in a tree.

Materials Needed:

  • Brown Glove (stretchy kind works well!)
  • Glue
  • Wiggle Eyes
  • Felt
  • 1 Inch Pom-Pom

Instructions:
Use felt and cut out the kookaburra's beak, wings, and the brown around his eye. Glue them into place. Also glue the small wiggle eyes into place. Glue the pom-pom onto the top of the index finger of the brown glove.

Cut many small leaf shapes (about 1 inch long) out of green felt. Glue these all over the fingers of the brown glove. Let the glue dry completely!

Once the glue is dry, you can gently place the glove on your hand.
