B saw this idea in his Highlights High Five Magazine and wanted to try it.
To make a sponge finger puppet, cut a hole in the bottom of the sponge to fit your finger. Cut different shapes from construction paper and glue them on. That's it! Simple and easy.
I think this would be an interesting way to make puppets of characters from a story and retell it (I'm thinking Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Three Little Pigs, etc.).
We did the same craft -- here's where I blogged about it. It was fun. Madison loved it.

I like this idea! My girls were just making sock puppets yesterday and performing for baby brother. I love the sponge idea and your suggestions for making characters.
