A simple puppet can be made from cardboard and hot glue.  Photos are below.  

Here are the basic steps:

Hand puppet (big one): 
  1.      Cut a circle out of cardboard.
  2. Slice the circle down the middle
  3. Make a hinge to hold onto (folded piece of cardboard)
  4. Glue the hinge to the half circles
  5. Attach flex sensor to hinge with double sided foam tape
  6. Cut and glue some loops for your fingers
  7. Wire up the flex sensor (same as before, it is just stuck to something now)
Mechanical puppet: 
  1. Cut a smaller circle
  2. Cut it in half
  3. Glue the servos together
  4. Glue the half circles to the servo arm
