    \r\n
  1. Cut out the shape for the body from a sheet of red felt. Then draw over it and cut out another identical shape. Stick a thin strip of double-sided adhesive tape on each side of one part and stick the other on top.<\/li>\r\n
  2. Make sure you leave the underside open. Cut out two small arm shapes from the blue felt and stick them to the front of the red shape.<\/li>\r\n
  3. Create a face by cutting out a small circle from the pink or brown felt. Add a face to the circle by colouring in googly eyes and a mouth. Add a beard from the brown or black felt. Cut out a crown from the yellow felt and stick it to the top of the face. Then stick the face on top of the red body shape.<\/li>\r\n
  4. Glue a small gemstone to the front of the finger puppet, between the arm shapes. Make two more of these finger puppets with different colour combinations.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n","shopping_list":"
