  • Two white pipe cleaners
  • Glue.
  • Scissors
  • A piece of red felt
    • How to make a lizard puppet, step by step

1. Glue the 2 large pom-poms on the top of the sock tip and the small pom-poms on the big ones to make the eyes of the lizard.

2. Cut a piece of pipe cleaner, tuck it and stick it over the seam to make the lizard's mouth.

3. Cut 2 pieces of pipe cleaners of the same size and form 2 rings. Glue them on both sides of the eyes.

4. Cut a rectangle of red felt to make the tongue. Make 2 points on one side. Stick the tongue to the snake below the sock, between the tip and the heel.

5. Put your hand in the sock. Place 4 fingers on the tip and the thumb on the heel. When you open your hand, the lizard's mouth will open!
