Dr. Seuss is one of our favorite authors because of the simple words and silly pictures that you find in his books. The Foot Book is a simple book that teaches so many great words to little ones.  My toddler loves to count the feet that she sees in the story and my preschooler loves to identify the rhyming words that he finds. Older kids will enjoy the wacky opposites that are included in Dr Seuss’ story.

Since The Foot Book is all about feet, we decided to grab a pair of our favorite shoes to wear (flip flops- since we live in California), and we created our own flip flip puppets in honor of Dr Seuss.

Flip Flop Puppets are a simple and open-ended kids craft and can be used to create your own stories or re-enact some of your favorite silly phrases from The Foot Book.

For your Dr Seuss craft, you will need at least one flip flop which can be a worn out, grown out of shoe or try your local dollar store to pick up something inexpensive.

These flip flop puppets are pretty simple to make.

Step 1

Set up a creation station with Elmer’s glue, flip flops, and any of your favorite embellishments and start creating!

Step 2

Encourage the kids to make puppets with the shoes.

• We made sure we had plenty of googly eyes for our Flip Flop Monsters.
• We also practiced our scissors skills by snipping pieces of yarn.
• We used the snipped yarn and tied knots around the flip flops to make crazy puppet hair.

Step 3

Put on a puppet show with your Foot Book puppets!

In addition to making these flip flop puppets, you could also do a Foot Book inspired movement activity  or Paint with your feet  while you read.
