Cow Finger Puppet

 


Our cute little cow finger puppet is a perfect craft for kids who are just learning to sew. It also makes a really nice gift for an older sibling to give to a younger sibling. And of course, once you've made the craft, you can play with it!

Cow Finger Puppet

You will need:

  • Black, white and pink felt
  • Needle and thread
  • Fabric glue
  • Wiggle eyes
  • Our printable template (below)

Instructions:

  • Cut two body shapes from white felt.
  • Cut two hooves from black felt.  
  • Cut one head from white felt.
  • Cut one nose from pink felt.
  • Sew one set of the hooves to each body. Embroider a line of running stitch up the middle of each body piece to make the legs.
  • To make a tail, cut a short length of 6 strand embroidery thread and knot the end.  Thread onto a needle and thread through the body so the knot is on the back and the thread hangs where the tail should be. Knot at the end and separate the pieces of thread out until you are happy with the tail.

  • Sew the body pieces together making sure to leave the bottom open.  
  • Cut patches of black felt and glue them to the body and head
  • Embroider two crosses on the nose for your cow's nostrils. Glue the wiggle eyes and nose to the face.  And finally, glue the face onto the body.
