It’s harvest time! Here is a cute farmer paper bag puppet craft that you and your preschooler can make together. I love paper bag puppets because they are easy to make and allow for creative play.
Supplies Needed:
- paper lunch bag
- Farmer paper bag puppet craft template (free PDF download)
- crayons
- glue stick
- scissors
How To:
Print out the farmer paper bag craft template. I made it available as a free PDF download.
Color your farmer template. The template has three pieces: 1 head, 1 body, and a chicken.
Grown ups can cut out the three pieces.
Now it’s time to glue! The side of the bag with the flap is the front. Glue the body onto the main part of the bag. Glue sticks work best because they don’t bleed through the paper. The farmer’s head will go on the flap of the bag so when you stick your hand in the paper bag, you can move the flap and make it look like the farmer is “talking.” Glue the head on to the flap carefully, making sure that you don’t accidently glue it onto the main part of the bag.
Let your project dry before playing with your farmer paper bag puppet. Once dry, show your farmer some of your favorite foods! Do you think your farmer grows any of your favorites on their farm?
