Glue the head to one end of the ribbon and the tail to the other end. Glue a popsicle stick to the head and one to the tail.

You can have the ribbon as long as you like (ours is short so we could photograph it easier). If you used a very long piece of ribbon you could glue popsicle sticks at various point along the ribbon. The puppet could then be controlled by more than one child.
