How to make an Easter stick puppet
STEP 1: Gather up supplies
Before you start, round up all the supplies you'll need for this craft. It makes it much easier! Be sure you have the template patterns printed out and then cut out each one.
Have your toddler or preschooler select the coloured craft papers they'd like to use for the Easter characters and other patterns.
STEP 2: Assemble chick puppet
Let's get started with the Easter chick puppet! Trace the chick onto yellow coloured paper, the triangle (beak) on orange paper, circles (blush) on pink paper, and the hatched egg on cream or white paper. Cut each one out.
Glue the beak and blush cutouts on the chick base and then draw the eyes. Glue the bottom side of the paper chick on the backside of the paper egg.
STEP 3: Assemble the basket puppet
Trace and cut out the template patterns for the basket. This includes the basket, handle, candies, and a few small strips.
Glue the handle on the top end of the basket. Add the paper candies to the top side of the basket.
Cut out some thin strips from brown coloured paper that is 1-2 shades darker than the basket colour. Glue them on the paper basket horizontally as shown below. Cut out some more strips and glue them vertically over the pervious strips of paper.
STEP 4: Finalise craft
Glue the paper chick and basket on craft sticks to complete the puppets. Assemble the bunny, Easter egg and flower and glue them to craft sticks. Now you're ready to play!
