Here is a quick and easy paper bag bunny puppet craft to make with your little one. Print the free template, color, cut, and glue to make your own puppet. Paper bug puppets are one of my favorite things to make with preschoolers because it allows for imaginative play! This isn’t a craft they just make and set aside, but something that is interactive and fun to play with.
Supplies Needed:
- paper lunch bag
- paper bag bunny puppet template (free PDF download)
- crayons
- glue stick
- scissors
- cotton ball (optional for a tail)
How To:
Print out the paper bag bunny puppet template. I made it available as a free PDF download. You can always make your own out of construction paper if you don’t have a printer.
Color your bunny template. The template has four pieces: 1 head, 1 body, and 2 ears.
Cut out the four pieces.
Now it’s time to glue! The side of the bag with the flap is the front. Glue the oval body onto the main part of the bag. We used a glue stick, but white school glue will also work. Then glue the circular face to the flap. Be careful not to glue the flap shut as the circle will hang over the flap slightly. Glue the tears to back of the bag, so that they stick up over the head.
OPTIONAL: add a fluffy bunny tail to the back by gluing on a cotton ball!
Let your puppet dry before playing with it and having lots of fun adventures.
