So the sculpey didn't work. However, I did ask around to people who had done similar projects and I've procured a U-Bolt which works nicely. I've bolted that into a wooden square. The styrafoam wheel now sits on top of the wooden square, and the whole set up works nicely, EXCEPT . . .
The wooden casing that I built for the motor interferes with the U-bolt. ARRRGGHHH! So this means that I will either have to make a new top for the wooden casing, or do away with it altogether and just have the motor by itself.
I'd like to stick with the casing, if at all possible. It keeps the motor from falling over and protects it from the elements. Plus, I spent a lot of time working on it. But in the end, getting the damn puppet moving is the main thing that counts. I'll post again when I've made more progress.
