For Fun: Let’s Get Crafty – Paper Bag Puppets
Paper bag puppets are both a wonderful craft to create and also an activity that sparks imaginative play and can be used again and again. Once the kids have assembled their puppets, they can bring them to life by creating their own stories and performing their own puppet shows. Paper bag puppets can be as simple or complex as you wish. Whether it’s just paper and markers you create your puppets with, or you decorate with yarn, googly eyes, stickers, and buttons, they’re a great project any time. Be sure to share your paper bag characters with me. I can’t wait to see your creations!
