Turn Stuffed Animals into Puppets

If your kids have too many stuffed animals, I have a solution to give them a new life that takes up less room. Turn them into puppets!

It is easy. On most stuffed animals you can open up the horizontal seam that runs across the rear end. Remove all the stuffing in the upper part of the body. Whip stitch the lower part of the body closed to keep stuffing in the legs (but that also depends on the stuffed critter). Insert your hand up through the open seam, and you have a puppet!

That is an awesome idea! I wish I had known about doing that when my son was young.
However, I can pass the idea onto my relatives with younger childrren.
