The Chalkboard Emotion Puppets were made for the counselor at my children's school. Your child can show how she feels by drawing the face on each puppet with chalk!

For a fun twist, use iron on printer transfer paper to make an iron on from your favorite photo! Print and iron onto fabric according to manufacturer's instructions and then simply substitute the photo fabric for the chalkboard fabric to make your own personalized puppet!
These fun hand puppets are sized for BOTH the 6.25x10.25" hoop AND the 5x7" hoop! Using colorful fleece and chalkboard fabric (available at Hancock fabrics online or Denver Fabrics online), they are quick, easy and inexpensive to make!
There are four different puppets, and each puppet comes in two sizes.
The hand puppets are made entirely in one hooping.
