I was going through my fabric stash and discovered a small amount of assorted felt squares I had leftover from a Christmas project. Making finger puppets requires very few supplies and it’s a great indoor activity to do with the kids.

We are pretty big Despicable Me fans, especially those ridiculous minions. So what better minion craft than some fun felt finger puppets?
