Here is a little puppet (if you can call it that) that I built a while back. I thought it would be fun to share with others.

Check it out HERE

Hehehe. It's almost like David Pannabecker did. But he only put eyes on his, you've gone the whole way. Looks great!

This is great! It reminds me of the adorable, animal character covers they sell for household appliances in Japan.

Hey Wes! Just like you said there are tons of things that could be turned into puppets. You've already done it with you mouse and keyboard. Mine just happen to be a hair dryer.

I think that lots of people have done this sort of thing. There was even a snippet of someone putting eyes on a film board in Kermit's Swamp Years (I think). It was just something that I needed for a lesson and I thought would be cool to have.

Where can you get puppet eyes like that?
Well, they are just ping pong balls cut in half with black electrical tape for the pupils. So you could get everything you need at and department store, or sporting goods shop. I believe I might have bought mine at either a dollar store or Walmart. I hope that helps.

Now the Big Bad Wolf can really blow the houses down.
And he did! Literally! I wrote a bit about it in the blog write up.

Thanks Buck. Like I said this was more of a creation out of necessity rather than pure fun.
