DIY PUPPITY PUPPET PUPPET: RE-PURPOSED

Ever wonder what to do with all those old stuffed animals??
Well, I personally couldn't wait till my children were through with some of their cute and cuddly childhood friends! 
Mr. Bear
I simply re-purposed them into 'puppets' and coupled them up with a corresponding storybook to share with the children in my preschool classroom.  

Just take a pair of scissors and cut the bear to make an access point for your arm.  Every animal will have a different access point which you will have to determine.

Next, remove the stuffing and sew the edge where you made your cut. Consider either sewing the edge or using Stitch-Witchery (an iron on hemming ribbon)                         
Whaalaa!!!
...now Mr. Bear gets to stay!!
