Hand Puppet Pattern

[buggaboosmommy]

Hello! I'm searching for a hand puppet pattern. My daughter has to make a puppet to go along with her report on Rosa Parks. Any ideas?

I've seen glove puppets using a cotton garden glove where each finger was a character. Maybe they could be people on the bus. The palm of the glove could be painted to look like a bus windshield. So it would be like the viewer is looking into the front of a bus.

Thanks for the links! I'm sure I'll use them one time or another. I was actually looking for a crochet pattern though for a hand puppet. But last night, I decided to just get a hook and yarn and see what happens. lol Right now Ms. Rosa Parks is sitting on top of the dryer drying. lol It's going to be adorable! I told my daughter I would crochet the puppet..and tonight she's going to make patterns for her clothing, and sew them on her sewing machine. Her puppet is going to be so cute! Now..just have to work on her oral presentation. I remember growing up we only had to do a book report..now it's a book report, 5 minute presentation in first person, AND a dang puppet, lol Photos will soon follow..when Rosa is dressed :)

Thanks again!
