A colleague and I came up with a fun way to make a simple stick puppet!
We sourced Michael’s and purchased a package of foam “heads.”
Have the child glue the “head” onto a wide Craft Stick. Use cut up scraps of coloured foam, paper, or wool for hair. Glue on wiggly eyes. We had some glittery heart stickers on hand, so the children used them for the “lips!” We added pipe cleaner eye glasses for a whimsical effect. You could easily add a crown for a royal touch!
The children enjoyed this simple craft. Michael’s has a wide array of foamie shapes from flowers to animals. Use your imagination and make some stick puppets.
Create a simple puppet theatre for your characters from an empty cereal box! Then, sit back and enjoy the dramatic play that you have inspired!
We traced a pair of sunglasses to create the raccoon’s mask!
