puppet: with raincoat

This was created at our local Ontario Early Years Centre.

Materials:

• paper bag (squared bottom)
• eye stickers (googly eyes would be fun!)
• construction paper cut in thin strips to make hair (red, black, brown, yellow)
• construction paper cut in the shape of a rain hat, rain coat and rain boots (red, orange, yellow, pink etc)
• markers, crayons for decorating
• glue
  

Instructions:

• place paper bag so that its bottom is facing the ceiling
• make a face on the bottom part of the bag (eyes, nose, mouth)
• use glue to add the paper "hair" (curl the paper around your finger if you want curly hair)
• glue the hair around the face
• glue the hat over top the hair
• glue the boots on the "bottom" of the puppet (the open part of the bag into which you'll put your hand later)
• glue the coat over top the boots and under the "chin" of the face [Note: the images shown have the boots glued overtop the raincoat.]
• decorate the construction paper as desired!
