Craft Corner: Cheer on Your Favorite Team with DIY Fan Fingers

By Jamie Twarogowski February 2, 2021

Show your support for your favorite team with these super simple Fan Finger Hand Puppets you can make in a flash with supplies you probably already have on hand!

What You Need:

  • Paper Plates
  • Markers
  • Scissors
  • Tape (or a stapler)

What You Do:

1. Color the bottom of each paper plate. We found it easier to color them before cutting, but do what works best for you.

2. Use your hand as a template to draw the outline of the #1 hand sign and cut it out.

3. Use this as a template to trace and cut out the backside of the puppet. Remember to flip it over and trace the opposite side, or your puppet will not fit together correctly.

4. Write/draw your team name, mascot, motivational sayings, or other decorations.

5. Tape or staple together.

6. Cheer your favorite team — the Denver Broncos, of course — to VICTORY!
