Create unique puppets using paper bags!
Steps
- Step 1Let your students pick their favorite color of paper bag.
- Step 2Set out all the "ingredients" onto a table "buffet style" so students can pick and choose (plastic containers and Zip Lock bags make great storage for all these items).
- Step 3Explain what some of the items can be used for, but tell your students that they can come up with their own ideas. You may be surprised at how unique some of the puppets will be!
- Step 4Cut out clothes, hair and facial features.
- Step 5Glue or glue stick the parts onto the paper bags.
- Optional Tip 1When done, have a puppet show, you can even make a theater out of old cardboard boxes.
- Optional Tip 2Tell students to make a "self-portrait" puppet.
- Optional Tip 3Have students make their entire families into paper bag puppets.
