I could almost die from the cuteness of these finger puppets! To think, an adorable zombie? A cute-as-a-button vampire? All the creatures in my book, Halloween Good Night, in finger-puppet form. Perfect craft and plaything for preschoolers!

How to Make Your Very Own Halloween Finger Puppets

Assembly is easy-peasy. If you're not into sewing, all you need is glue. Or use glue and embroidery floss and a needle. Either works just fine. A note on glue: I discovered the hard way that fabric glue doesn't work well on felt. Best pick, Elmer's All Purpose or Ailene's Tacky/Craft glue.

The infographic above lists everything you'll need and the steps to construct. But first you'll want the pattern! Download the PDF Halloween Finger Puppet Pattern. And to keep track of what little pieces go where (and what colors I used), my initial sketch may help.

You can download the PDF Sketches of HGN Puppets, if you'd like. So you have a shopping list, I bought felt (1 9x12" sheet of each) in the colors: black, white (2 sheets), brown, tan, beige, gold/dark yellow, red, pale pink, kelly green, dark green, lighter green, teal, light blue, pale purple, dark purple, medium/rustic brown. Plus I had gray wool thread on hand for the hair.

Now for the fun part, I'll "talk" you through each puppet and share any tips or special features.
