Who this list is for
This sock puppet weather reporter craft is for 7-year-olds making one puppet for pretend weather reports. The puppet uses removable weather cards and fabric glue instead of sewing.
How to use this list
Choose a clean adult sock as the puppet base. Cut facial features, clothing details, and weather pieces from assorted felt sheets with fabric scissors. Attach large wiggle eyes and yarn scraps with fabric glue. Make weather cards from white cardstock, weather icon templates, washable markers, and small index cards. Add self-adhesive hook-and-loop dots to the puppet and cards so the weather can change during a report.
Common mistakes
Do not use the sock before fabric glue has dried. Keep the hook-and-loop dots matched so removable weather cards stay attached. Avoid making the weather cards too large for the puppet; small index cards are easier to hold up during pretend reports.
