This no-sew ghost hand puppet is very easy to make, and it has been a huge hit with my kids and their friends!
MATERIALS:
- 1 white glove (I bought a pair for $1 at Michaels; I’ve also seen sets of 2 pairs for $1 in the junior section of Target)
- black felt
- craft glue
STEPS:
- Cut ten small black circles and five slightly larger black ovals out of black felt. The circles will be the ghosts’ eyes, and the ovals will be their mouths. My “circles” were actually squares and rectangles with the corners trimmed off.
- Glue the circles and ovals on using craft glue. I found it was easiest to put a small amount of craft glue on a dish and to apply it to the small felt pieces using a toothpick.
- Let dry and enjoy. Our adult-sized stretchy gloves were small enough that Emma could get her fingers far enough into the glove to use this as a puppet.
I found two different “Five Little Ghosts” rhymes that could be used with this puppet here and here.
We’re saving the other glove to turn into snowmen in a couple months.

Could find an orange glove (hunting section) and do faces for pumpkin fingerplay.
