Paper Bag Puppets

This craft is SO fun for the kids- and very satisfying once they're done and realize it's a puppet!

I made several styles, but here are three for this go-round.  A raccoon, Pig, and Elephant:

The elephant an the Pig are made completely from felt, but the Racoon I printed the eyes and ears so It's not too complicated. 

Elephant: 

2 Ears- kidney shapes, Gray

1 Trunk- arm shape, Gray

2 Eyes- half ellipse, White

2 Pupils- circles, black

Pig:

2 Ears- triangles, pink

2 Eyes- circles, white

2 Pupils- circles, black

1 Nose- flat oval, pink

2 Arms, long oval, pink

Racoon:

2 Eyes, overlapping blaxk and white ovals

2 Ears, overlapping tirangles

1 Nose Tip, circle, black

1 Nose, circle, white

2 Arms, long oval, black

1 Belly, long oval, white

I tried to add the patterns, but am having an issue with it on blogger.... grrrr- so if you would like them, please e-mail me JenGood.

Once all the pieces are cut out, just have the kid(s) apply with a glue stick... do not be shy with adding the glue!  Especially with the felt.  Be very generous.  I do not recommend using liquid glue on this project though.  Once all pieces are added, the pig just needs a couple little nostrils added with a sharpie.  We also let the kids color 'clothes' on the bags.  lso, for very litle ones I cut down the bags a couple inches so they fit on their arms.  One of the moms suggested it and it worked out great!
