How do you carved Foam Puppets?

[wes]

I heard many people talk about Carved foam puppets, but how do you do it is their special tools or do you use scissor and electric knife, and where do you get big blocks of foam and which kind of foam.

It sounds like fun and something i want to get into, any Help??

Also you asked about what kind of foam. you can look at some of the threads under foam and it will explain the drifferent types of foam. some disinagrate faster than others.
