Penguin Family Puppets!

Sarah just adores penguins right now, and I wanted to make her a very special set of penguin puppets!  These are a bit more elaborate than some of my other puppets, but you'll be surprised how quick they are to stitch up!

They are made from inexpensive fleece with colorful appliqued fabrics and the largest one only takes 17 minutes stitching time!  Each puppet is made entirely in one hooping!

I've included the Penguin Puppet in three different hoop sizes.  Make one or an entire family by changing the colors of their hats!

Complete instructions can be found at the bottom of this page.

The Penguin Puppet Set includes all three penguin puppets:

The largest Penguin hand puppet is stitched in the 6x10 hoop.

The medium Penguin hand puppet is stitched in the 5x7 hoop.

The small Penguin finger puppet is stitching in the 4x4 hoop.
