By Jamie Twarogowski, Macaroni Kid Publisher July 24, 2016
Show your support for the Dallas Cowboys when they visit Oxnard this summer with this 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 in dark blue and grey (Dallas Cowboy Colors)
  • 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.) You will want to use the grey marker for the Cowboys.

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

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

4. Write/draw your team name, mascot, motivational sayings or other decorations. You can also draw a Dark blue star or a giant D for the Dallas Cowboys in dark blue on your finger.

6. Cheer your team on to VICTORY!
