Make a puppet, or buy one....

If you make a puppet, you will always have someone to talk with in French!

Here's how to make a puppet that can only speak and understand French.

You can make a simple finger puppet with paper or felt; glove puppets can be made starting with a large old sock, a glove, or an old cuddly toy with the stuffing removed.

If you want to buy a ready-made puppet, Early Start can supply inexpensive finger puppets and really good hand puppets with expressive working mouths - see Puppets page for more....
