Puppets Out of Paper Bags: Owl

Each week I take my youngest daughter to story time at the library. The librarian reads stories to the preschoolers, leads a sing along and then demonstrates a simple craft. It’s very well done and my daughter thoroughly enjoys it. So I highly recommend that you take advantage of all the free services your local library has to offer!

This week we made puppets out of paper bags. Since the books were all about owls, we made owl puppets.

What You Need to Make Owl Puppets Out of Paper Bags:

• Small paper bag
• Yellow, orange and brown construction paper
• Glue
• Scissors
• Black marker or crayon

How to Make Owl Puppets Out of Paper Bags:

1. Cut out two circles from the yellow construction paper for the owl’s eyes.

2. Cut out a small triangle from the orange construction paper for the owl’s beak.

3. Cut a medium sized triangle from the brown construction paper for the owl’s tuft of feathers on top.

4. Glue the eyes, beak and tuft of feathers to the paper bag (as shown above).

5. Use black marker or crayon to add to the owl’s eyes.
