Paper Bag Puppets Craft for Kids
Check out this fun and classic craft: Paper Bag Puppets for pretend play!
YOU WILL NEED:
Paper lunch bag
Markers
Construction paper and/or scrapbook paper
Googly eyes
Pom pom
Yarn
Ribbon
Tools: glue stick, scissors and white craft glue
Directions:
Making the faces is the fun part! Let your kids use glue and yarn to create hair. They can make pig tails by tying several yarn strands together with a piece of ribbon. Or a spiked hair cut by cutting yarn into short strands and glueing to the top of the bag. Cheeks can be make using markers or pink crayon, I’ve used circles I cut from pink construction paper. Medium pom poms make great noses, and googly eyes will finish off the face. Look for the googly eyes with lashes for girl puppets!
Dressing them up is just as fun as giving their face some character. Use scrapbook paper to create simple clothes, ribbon makes great collar trim! Once the clothes are glued in place, trim off the excess, being careful not to cut the bag.
Remember, decorating is part of the fun, so let them have a ball!
