We all love the magic of handmade toys and the thrill of creating something new. Finger puppets are a fantastic craft that are not only simple, but also incredibly fun. Best of all, anyone can enjoy them!

Let’s make this delightful project together.

Directions:

  1. Place the tissue in a landscape orientation and fold it into three equal parts, as shown in pictures 2 and 3, where you’ll see the tissue divided into three equal sections.

  2. Fold the right and left sides down from the centre of the folded tissue; picture 4.

  3. Leaving the top side untouched, fold the right and left flaps inward, bringing them together in the middle; picture 5.

  4. This next step requires a bit of precision: Fold the flaps again and bring them together in the middle, creating even thinner folds, as shown in picture 6.

  5. Notice the top part (triangle) that was left untouched. Fold it in the opposite direction from the thinner folds, see pictures 7 and 8.

  6. Turn the tissue over and focus on the folded triangle. Carefully bring the right and left sides together; pictures 9 and 10.

  7. Secure the corners with tape; picture 11.

  8. To create the bunny face, turn it over and gently open the folds of the tissue, as shown in picture 12.

  9. For an added touch, use a pink crayon or blush. to colour inside the ears and cheeks. Draw the eyes and mouth with a marker or pen, see pictures 13, 14, and 15.

Your cute finger bunny puppet is now ready. Enjoy!
