Paper Bag Puppets Sheep
Welcome to our paper bag puppets sheep tutorial! We're going to show you how to make a puppet using every day stuff you have around the house.
This is the perfect easy craft idea for kids and can be used in so many ways. It can be the basis for a unique puppet show or assist in making a bedtime story all the more interesting.
Kids naturally gravitate to puppets. Even the shyest kids can find their voice when aided by a puppet. So grab a lunch bag and some crayons and we'll take care of the rest!
Let's just take a peek at the finished craft!
Now let's take it step by step and make our paper bag puppets sheep:
Materials
One brown paper lunch bag (ours was bought at Target)
White construction paper
Black marker
Crayons
Scissors
Glue (glue stick or white Elmer's glue will do)
A printer
Template 1 and Template 2
Instructions:
1. Print out our template and cut out the puppet pieces.
2. Lay them out in front of you. Color the hooves black using your black marker.
3. Glue the top sheep's wool on to the head pattern piece.
4. Color the sheep's face and lower jaw a tan or flesh color. Color the tongue red.
5. Glue the sheep's face onto the bottom part of the paper bag (the flap).
6. Glue the mouth underneath the flap, so that it shows when the flap is down. Use our picture for reference..
7. Glue the legs on.
That's it! Not so bad, right? Now you're all set to put on your very own puppet show!
Enjoy!
Paper Bag Puppets Skit Ideas
Now that you've made our paper bag puppets sheep, you might need some easy puppet scripts for your first puppet show. Well, we've got a super easy idea for you...how about performing "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep"?
I've chose to feature Saley Mavor's "Pocketful of Posies: A Treasury of Nursery Rhymes" because it is so much more than just another collection of nursery rhymes. The book's unique illustrations (made from fabric and embroidery) serve as a testament to the importance of crafting. While we are dedicated to recycled materials in crafts, Ms. Mavor uses sewing techniques, and combines natural materials with fabric to create her one-of-a-kind pictures.
Reading to your child from this book will provide so many wonderful memories. It will encourage creativity and provide inspiration. And seriously, I don't know who I'm recommending this book for...you or your kids.
No, I do know....I'm recommending the purchase of this book for both! The million dollar question is, "Who will enjoy it more?" I'm not making any bets on this one.
Enjoy this read!
