Give each student a sock. Have students put the socks on their hands, with their thumbs in the heels and their other fingers in the toes. Show them how to push in the fabric between the heel and toe areas to form a mouth. Have students glue buttons on for eyes. Students may also cut fabric for ears and tongues and glue that to the puppets.
Students use puppets to brainstorm things to recycle.
Have students put their puppets on their hands and practice moving the mouth as if the puppet is talking. Then have students use the puppets to brainstorm things that could be recycled. Students complete sanitation worker page for community books. I am a sanitation worker. I can help you.
