How cute is this little guy?

My little kindergartener was looking over my shoulder as I added the photos to this article, and she was oohing and aahing all over the pictures of this not so scary monster. In her words, “he’s even cuter than Kermit”.

High praise indeed 🙂

Can you tell me where you found such fuzzy socks? Such a cute project! The “fur” really gives it the extra character it needs!

Nice post! You can do this craft with your children and if they have fun using it, you can buy a puppet so they have one more character to create stories with. Using puppets to play is an educational way to play that can take them away from technology for a while.
