Idea of the week:

Sock Puppets!

What you want your sock puppet to look like up to you. But there are a few key ingredients:

Clean old socks! No one wants a wiffy puppet!

Markers and felt tips.

Buttons, wool, coloured paper, scissors and glue... It all depends on what character you're making - glitter for Disco Oddie, wool for Rasta Oddie, leaves for Eco Oddie... The possibilities are endless!

---Then just pull the sock over the hand that you do not use to write.

---Draw a face - remember that your thumb and forefinger will naturally make a “mouth” from which the puppet will talk, sing, recite poetry, yodel.

---Glue on buttons for eyes or ears, added a paper tongue or even glue on wool for hair or a beard. It depends whether you want your puppet to be an animal or monster or ghost or anything!

---Then it's time to start playing... make a theatre out of a cardboard box, get your friends over with their puppets and put on a silly voice!

Have fun! And if that's not enough, there's some colouring in below!

I met up with Pirate Oddie over the weekend and he had a message… and a task for you…

“Ahoy there!!

Shiver me timbers! It’s been a rum day at worrrrk fer me, arrrrr. Luckily that mango smoothie I “borrowed” of Prrrincessss Oddie be fine fine grog! It’s been keepin’ my energy levels up… which I need fer all that piratin I be doin’! It’s been hard steerin’ The Odd Pearl now it be airborne… and I have to meet up with me ol’ hearty Capt’ Jack Sparrow and Long John Silver later this eve.

This morn, I met me ol’ matey Diver to talk about the treasure we be seekin’. Can yer find the differences in each picture? Aye, I can find ten! But I’ll not be tellin’ yer what treasure we be seekin’!”

Email me with all the differences you can find and tell me what YOU think Pirate Oddie is searching for. One thing he’ll be certain to find, though, is mischief!





Can't wait to hear what YOU think Pirate Oddie is seeking - and I don't think it's a missing odd sock!

Lots of hearty love from Oddieworld! xoxox
