Making a Tongue for a Sock Puppet

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Grace Fitzpatrick here on behalf of Expert Village and I am going to talk to you about how to make the tongue for your sock puppet. So I have attached my mouth to my sock puppet and now I am going to make a green tongue for him. I am going to take my foam piece. I am going to make sort of a snake tongue with a fork at the end. So now I am just going to cut out the shape. And you can sew on your tongue but since I am going to be attaching two pieces of foam I am just going to glue it because I think that would be easier. I want to keep in mind where the mouth is going to open and make sure that the tongue sort of starts in that place. And I want this to be a floppy green tongue so I am just going to glue the end to that crease in the mouth. I am just going to put a line of glue on the top and press it on just like so. Hold it for about thirty seconds. "
