I'm so excited to share these free Halloween shadow
puppet printables with you! Just print on cardstock,
cut them out, and then glue each one onto a straw,

Lovie Sock Puppets

Found at Meri Cherry, these simple sock puppets are a great
little gift for kids and easy to make too. Although these
buttons are glued on, if they are for children under
three then it's best to stitch the buttons on.
