The first time I saw this neat little trick was on a stalled subway. A woman turned her gloves into a bunny to entertain her toddler. I couldn't believe I'd never seen this clever idea before and learned how to do it myself. Check out how to make this cute puppet and keep this trick up your sleeve for spontaneous play time any time.
The best gloves for this craft are the cheap one-size ones or any other thin knit gloves.
1. Push the middle finger into one glove and put the other glove on. Put your gloved middle finger into the inverted glove finger.
2. Fold the empty glove toward your palm. Tuck the pinky and thumb under the glove and place the ring and pointer fingers up between your other ring and pointer fingers. The empty fingers will be the ears and your gloved fingers will be the front feet of your bunny.
3. Wrap your thumb and pinky around the empty glove and pull the bottom of the glove up over them. Animate the bunny by moving the front feet.
You can add googly eyes, a nose or other decorations to your bunny or you can just turn your gloves back into gloves after you are done playing.
