Leather I've found is the best mouthplate material for me. Thin leather is flexible yet stiff and will last forever. The stuff I use is from rolls of soccer ball leather stock from Spalding.

Well, I made a puppet with the foamcore (pictures on my site this weekend) and it turned out really well. Thanks to everyone for the tips. I don't know if I'd use it extensively however, because it was kind of difficult to glue the felt to the mouth without get getting an air pocket in it (not sure why it happened.) It also needs finger grips, which I made, and it helps a lot. Again, thanks guys! Pics to be up soon.
