Buy cheap tennis balls from a discount shop and make these hysterical tennis ball puppet heads.
Materials
Tennis ball
Google eyes
Wool
Craft glue
Step 1
Using a sharp knife, scissors or Stanley knife (adult should do this) cut a horizontal cut half way across the tennis ball.
Step 2
Glue on google eyes.
Step 3
Make hair using wool (or permanent marker).
a) Cut lengths of wool. Just make this approximate because you can trim the hair
b) Tie a knot in the middle
c) Trim the hair to desired length.
d) Glue the wool on top of the head.
Step 4
Add lips with a permanent marker (and eyelashes too!).
Step 4
Allow to dry.
Step 5
Do a puppet show! Just press on the sides of the ball to open the mouth. Hysterical!

Great idea. Will definitely give it a go.
It was a great because my 10 year old and my 4 year old loved it.
