Peeper Puppets
What are they?
Peeper Puppets are a V shaped plastic piece that goes around your middle finger with the eyeballs sitting on top of the two points of the V -- your hand then makes the mouth. Aka " Finger" or "Ring" puppets.
Available in bulk for cheap.
I've also seen them at "Michaels".

Home Made Peeper Directions:
by: Jan Nappa
These would probably not last as long as the purchased ones, but I made a bunch of these using neon colored chenille stems (aka pipe cleaners) and 1" google craft eyes. Made a pair for each of the kids to use during our puppet rotation for the Emmaus Walk ("their eyes were opened"!) They loved it and they were so inexpensive we had each of the kids take home their peepers to share the story at home.

A few ideas, using Peeper Puppets, to spur your imagination
- Puppet peepers are great as you can use them with any bible story or bible character.
- Luanne adds I've taken scripts/lyrics and pinned them to back of puppet curtain. Also, fun way to Lip Sync to any bible song. I have also used glow-in-the-dark peeper puppets with blacklights.
Animals in bible stories, someone's arm with a Peeper Puppet on their hand becomes the:
snake in Adam & Eve.
worm in Jonah.

Luanne adds we used Peeper Puppets with the complaints/response activity, in this lesson, at our Fall Camp on Moses and we did it in a tent.PUPPET Workshop for Walk to Emmaus by RFour a suggestion was made to use Peeper Puppets in place of Popsicle stick puppets.
