What I may do is make another puppet with the patterns I have and just use cheap fleece. This would get me by for next Sunday. Then when Dave sends the rest of it I can make the one from the kit. I already have plenty of fleece and foam and I could use plexiglass for the mouthplates. Maybe take a trip to the dumpster for some carpet foam, buy some practice golfballs for the ethofoam palm grip and cut up my old basketball for the strap and little cresent moon thingy. Yep. I could make it work I think. This might actually work out to my advantage since I like the arms and hands of the foam book I could try them out on this cheaper version I make for Sunday School. I just couldn't bring myself to experiment on my kit.
