Paper Bag Rudolph Puppet

Paper Bag Reindeer Puppet by Mia, Age 3 1/2

This is another one we made last year, and I ended up doing most of the work. We tried it again this year, and Mia did much more of the project. The idea for this craft, which I have made revisions to, came from here.

Materials:

• paper lunch bag
• tape
• pencil
• red craft foam
• scissors
• glue (I like Aleene's Tacky Glue)
• 2 googly eyes
• red pom pom

Directions:

1. Trace child's hand onto red (or another color if you prefer) craft foam (or construction paper) and cut out hand prints.
2. Fold in corners of the bottom of a paper lunch bag to form a pointy nose.
3. Glue on two googly eyes and a red pom pom nose.
4. Tape cut out hand prints to the back of the bag to form Rudolph's antlers.
5. Once the glue is dry, you can play with your puppet or display it.
