HOW TO MAKE A DINOSAUR FINGER PUPPET:

This unusual puppet's body is formed by your own hand. Paper cutouts make the long neck, the head, and the feet!

Step 1: Cut out 2 identical head pieces.

Step 2: Cut out a neck piece that is 2 inches high and 2 inches wide. Decorate the head to look like your favorite dinosaur.

Step 3: Glue the tops of the 2 heads together. Roll the neck piece around your middle finger, and tape it.

Step 4: Slide the roll off your finger, and glue the bottom of the heads to the roll.

Step 5: For fun Dino feet, cut 4 strips of paper that are 1 inch high and wide enough to wrap around your fingers. Now it's time to dress the dinosaur!

Step 6: When the glue is dry on the head, slide your middle finger inside the neck piece. Tape the strips of paper around the tips of your other fingers.
