Do you ever wonder if Claude gets jealous of Sir Bobblysock?
Think about it: Sir Bobblysock is both a sock and quite bobbly. I mean, talk about a double threat.
What if we leveled the playing field a bit? What if we made Claude into a sock?
There's a whole world of puppetry arts that we could explore... Claude could have his own adventure vlog...
That's it. This is happening. Go grab your supplies and meet me back here in five.

black pom-pom
- 1
red pom-pom

- Scissors
- Hot
glue gun
Directions:

up your hot glue gun.

forefinger and thumb.
4. Cut
out Claude’s ears and beret using shapes like this:
