(all laughing) (dog barking)

- Today, Elmo, Abby, and I are making sock puppets,

like this sock puppy. (Elmo and Abby laughing)

- Oh, yeah! - Ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff!

- Hi there, puppy!

(Nina slurps)

Oh! (laughs) - Woof, hiya!

- Hello, doggie!

- Hi, Elmo. - (laughs) Yeah,

and you can make one, too.

Follow along with us.

- Let's get crafty.

To make a sock puppy, you'll need socks, felt, cardboard.

For cardboard, we're gonna be using an old cereal box.

Googly eyes, a ruler, glue gun, scissors, and pom poms.

Step one, pick sock bodies for your puppies.

- (laughs) Oh, okay, Elmo wants Elmo's sock puppy body

to be the color, oh, oh, oh, yellow!

- (laughs) all right. - And I want mine

to have the spots.

- Ooh, nice. - Yeah.

- All right, step two.

We're going to give our puppies mouths.

(Abby gasps) - Oh, yeah,

so they can say woof, woof, woof, woof, woof!

(Nina laughs) - And (howls).

- First thing we're gonna do is we're gonna grab

a roll of tape-- - Uh-huh.

- And we're gonna draw a circle on our cardboard,

which is actually a cereal box.

- All right. - Give it a try.

(cheerful music)

Nice work. - Yeah! (laughs)

- All right, now we're gonna cut it out.

- Be sure to ask an adult to help you

cut out the circles. (laughs)

- Will you help us cut out the circles?

- Of course. - Please!

- Of course, of course.

- So good to-- - All right,

so now we're gonna snip, snip around,

and then we're gonna keep going.

(upbeat music) (dog barks)

And now we have a circle.

(Abby gasps) - Yeah!

- We fold the circle in half just like this, fold.

So now we're gonna line up our mouth--

- Mm-hmm. - Our little circle,

straight line here, you see that straight line?

- Mm-hmm. - You're gonna line it up

with the line over here, the seam of the sock.

- Uh-huh. - Yeah.

- Then we'll put glue on the mouth.

- Mm-hmm. - And be sure to cover

the whole circle with glue, okay?

- Oh, remember to ask an adult to help you

use the hot glue gun 'cause it gets hot, baby! (laughs)

- Press into the sock and smooth it out just like that.

Now we just let it dry.

- Mm. - What shall we do

while we wait?

- Let's dance, whoo!

(upbeat music)

- All right, so now that our sock puppies are dry,

we're gonna turn the sock inside out.

- Whoo! - Yeah, and watch.

- Okay. - Here we go.

- And voila! - Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

- Look, there it is, there it is!

- Look, it's a puppy mouth!

- There it is! - The puppy mouth!

- (laughs) All right, it's time for step three.

Decorate our puppies.

What do we need to make our sock puppies look like puppies?

- Oh, eyes!

- Ears! - Oh, and a tongue.

- And a (sniffs), nose!

- Yes, yes, yes. - Nose, right! (laughs)

- Yes, all right. - Yeah!

- So I've gone ahead and cut out some doggie tongues

out of this pink felt.

- Oh, cool! - So here you go.

You can have one, I'll take one.

(Abby slurps) And then you can have one.

- Thank you! - I also cut out

some doggie ears from all of these felt colors.

- Oh, pretty. - Right?

All right, so let's see,

what colors do you want for your ears?

- Oh, Elmo would like purple, please.

- Okay, Elmo you can have the purple.

- Thank you. - I'll take the pink.

Abby, what do you want?

- Um, I think I would like an orange and a blue.

- Oh, okay. - One orange, one blue.

- One orange, one blue, I love it.

So what eyes do you want your puppy to have, huh?

- Oh, oh, oh, oh, Elmo loves the pink ones.

- Oh, those are good. - Okay.

- I like those big ones on the top part.

- Oh, okay. - Yeah.

- We'll use a glue gun to stick everything on.

(upbeat music)

Ta-da, we have sock puppies! - Ta-da! (laughs)

- Ruff, ruff! - Ruff!

- Elmo's puppy is called Jack.

- Oh. - Oh, oh, woof woof woof woof!

- Mine's name is Newhart.

- Oh! (laughs) - Rawr rawr!

- Woof, ruff, ruff, ruff!

(laughs) Thanks for making sock puppies

with me and my little crafters over here.

We hope you had fun making a sock puppy.
