Finger puppets! (A team building exercise)

I ran a team building exercise at work where we all threw our names in a bowl and picked out someone else’s name. Then, we reincarnated each other in the form of a finger puppet. Being the creative group we are, we came up with some charming and hilarious interpretations. It was fun to take a break from the day now and again. In all, the project spanned several days when we had time to craft. It broke up the stress of end-of-year deadlines and unified our otherwise project-oriented (and separated) group.

The basics for this craft:

  1. buy inexpensive knit gloves (these are from Target) in various colors.
  2. cut off the fingers and discard the hand
  3. wrap, glue and sew on cloth, buttons, beads and ribbon. Anything really.
  4. Have fun!
