Preparing Your Child for Preschool: Fun Preschool Craft Project
If you are looking for a fun preschool craft project to do with your child, you may want to make your own paper bag puppets. The good news about doing so is that you have so many options.
As you can see (lol hopefully if you can tell) we made a few puppets that are the Backyardigans, from the popular Nick Jr. show. Just to make sure we got the puppets right, I went to the NickJr.com website to see what they all looked like. This is a good idea if your child wants to make a puppet of their favorite movie or television characters. It is amazing how some children can notice the smallest differences!
Supplies That Are Needed:
Lunch Sized Paper Bag
Scissors
Paint and Paint Brushes
Construction Paper
Glue
Directions:
1 – Have your child start painting their paper bag.
2 – While the paint is drying, trace your child’s handprints on a piece of colored construction paper. These handprints can be used for their puppet’s arms.
3 – Cut out the handprints.
4 – Have your child glue them to the side of the paper bag.
5 – Add any additional accessories, like ears, hats, or antlers.
