Eye Finger Puppet Gift

7/28/2016

Do you give your students a welcome back to school gift? I decided to this year and I think it was a hit!

Open house is always so awkward – the students are shy and don’t really want to talk to anyone but their parents. This year I was able to show the kiddos around the room a little, stopping by the ever so popular turtle, and ending at my guided reading table where I had a surprise waiting for everyone!

I’ve used these little fellas during guided reading in the past and they are so much fun! I was in Target the other day…shocker, right?...and found these little guys again. They were in the party section, just begging to be picked up. So, I did.

I whipped up a little phrase to put with the eye finger puppet when I got home. Super cheesy, but I do teach first grade. Cheese is definitely called for. All the time.

(Y'all - please excuse my fingernails. It's back to school time - you know how it is. Ha!)

Once I printed and cut the cards out, I just hot glued the eyeballs onto the card and was ready to go!

I hope you can use this free card for your finger puppets!

I’d love to see your pictures in use on Instagram – tag me at @mirandalarayne! 
UPDATE 7/24! The old link broke, so here are some new cards! Enjoy!

Hello Miranda! This is SUCH a neat idea! I have only taught grades 2-4 and I have never given out a "Welcome to my class" gift. Frankly, being a single dad, it's never been in the budget. Since I am starting my journey in Kindergarten, I feel like I need to get the kids PUMPED to start their reading adventures. I will definitely be on the hunt for these the next time I'm at Target. Thank you SO much for sharing! I'm pinning this on my Pinterest page just so I don't forget! Thanks for all you do! :)
