Nun Finger Puppet Craft for Catholic Kids

If you’re looking for a cute little Catholic craft for kids, you may love this little felt nun finger puppet! (I also have a paper version down here for you)

Nun Finger Puppet
 
 
Supplies Needed to Complete this Craft:
  •  Black, white, and skin tone paper or felt
  • Old marker cap
  • Glue
  • Googly eyes
  • Pipe cleaner
  • Yarn or embroidery floss 
 I made this nun finger puppet in 2 different ways. The picture above has one made from felt, and the picture below has a nun made from construction paper, so you have options.

Either way your pieces will look something like this:

To make the broom twist some yarn or embroidery floss around in a circle, twist a pipe cleaner around it, and then cut the bristles free

I glued our construction paper nun together with regular school glue. The marker cap goes on the back.
 
Marker caps fit on children’s fingers or adult pinkies pretty well:

I used hot glue to put our felt nuns together because it attaches instantly, but you could use regular glue if you’re patient. Just glue around the 2 curved edges but leave the bottom open for your finger to go in.
 
These are a lot of fun and I plan on making more saints soon! It would be fun to have a whole collection of these! For more ideas, check out my paper bag nun puppets– they’re fun, too! 🙂
