Groundhog Finger Puppet

How to make a simple finger puppet ~ Groundhog’s Day craft for kids

Where did January go? I don’t know about you, but I’m really hoping that the Groundhog does not see his shadow on Feb 2nd.  I am SO ready for spring!  Anyway, since we’ve had so much fun making puppets with yarn, craft sticks and even creating some fun process art, we decided to make little Groundhogs.

Who wants the groundhog to see his shadow on Feb 2nd?  I’m and so ready for spring, although my kids are hoping for a few more big snowstorms.
