Fox in Socksis filled with such fun. You can read tongue twisters about Mr. Fox and Mr. Knox. Mr. Fox can read tongue twisters and Mr. Knox gets his tongue twisted. JDaniel loves wordplay. He loves coming up with words that fit a pattern. Tongue twisters offered him a great way to explore words in a fun way. We recently made a Fox in Socks sock puppet. It will be great for retelling the tongue twisters.
Making the Sock Puppet
We made a fox using a sock. I found a wonderful template on the internet that I was able to trace onto red felt. That template is no longer available so, here is a Fox in Socks Template for a Sock Puppet template I made for making the sock puppets. The set also includes a larger version of the fox’s head. It would be fun to use to make a paper bag puppet.
Once the fox head had been cut out, JDaniel helped me glue the eyes down onto the felt.
