Well I think I got it. I am going to get her a Green SOck. alter it to where she has the mouth plate to use. and use ping pong balls for eyes. I played with it and kinda folded the heel of the sock over the eye balls as eye lids.

I will get pics up when done.

By the way I get to do a puppet show for the preK and Kindergarten in a couple weeks. I am getting the scripts for the puppets ready now. We will be videoing it and try to put it on you tube.

Later

I used the sock puppet pattern from you know who and the face / mouth somehow turned pointy versus the many round examples I've seen on the site. So, I turned it into a dragon for the latest contest but didn't get it finished in time. It could have easily been an alligator.

I used these eyes from Puppet Planet.

Can't wait to see the video!

Here is a couple of pics of the alligator puppet I built for my PreK Daughters project. The head is that green block styrofoam from walmart. I carved the head out. I covered it with a green netting. Ping pong balls eyes. THe body is made of a dog sweater. the rest is foamies, and misc things.
