Make a fun scarecrow paper bag puppet with only a few supplies:
- 1 paper bag (lunch size)
- construction paper
- scissors
- glue stick
- googly eyes
- a marker
My son picked out all of the colors for his scarecrow: green hat, brown face, blue shirt, pink cheeks, blue patch, and yellow straw.
I cut out the shirt, face, cheeks, patch, and hat for him. He cut the yellow straw pieces.
First, my son glued the blue shirt onto the bag. Next he glued the face onto the flap of the bag. He glued the straw to the underside of his hat before gluing the hat onto the scarecrow’s head. His hat looked a little plain, so we added a blue patch to it.
Next, we flipped the puppet over and my kiddo glued straw pieces to the back of the sleeves. This made it look like straw was poking out the shirt.
After gluing all of the pieces onto the paper bag, my son picked really big googly eyes for his puppet. He stuck them on the scarecrow’s face, slightly under the straw. He drew on a great, big smile with a green marker. For his finishing touches, he glued on the round, pink cheeks.
