I love finger puppets (they're one of the only things I collect), and these finger puppets from Craft Jr. are simply made from pipe cleaners and pom-poms and will take your kids way beyond Easter in the fun department. Even if you don't have time to make them before Easter, you can make them to fit any theme. They'd be wonderful party favors (or even a great activity for a birthday party), or would make a fun activity for a rainy day, for a classroom, or for a scout troop.

Project Estimate:

• Pipe cleaners, $1
• Pom-poms, $1
• Googly eyes, $1 or on hand
• Hot glue gun, on hand
• Wire cutters, on hand

Total cost: $2 and up
