help me come up with some teddy bear craft ideas please

[deaconblue]

I saw these and thought they would be a brilliant activity at dd's teddy bear's picnic party but the website doesn't sell just the teddies and can't afford to buy whole kits and chuck 4 out of 5 puppets. Any ideas where I could get similar material to make my own? and more ideas too would be much appreciated

You should be able to buy calico fabric in any fabric shop. Do you have a John Lewis near you, for example??
You would also be able to buy fabric pens and decorations there too

Patterns for Hand puppets here

thank you. Am a bit useless at crafty stuff but reckon I should be able to knock up a simple teddy bear shape to make hand puppets.

the patterns look pretty simple, you would just need to add ears.

Hope they have lots of fun!
