How to Make a Bear Paper Bag Puppet
STEP 1: Fork painting!
To start, take the brown paint and pour it on your paper plate.
Then, have your kids dip a fork into the paint and start stamping the flap of the paper bag. This will help create a texturised effect similar to a bear's fur. Fork painting is a really fun painting technique!
STEP 2: Trace and cut the bear template
Now, print out the bear template (available at the bottom of the instructions for free using code - bear) and cut out each outlined shape.
Using a pen, trace the paws and ears on your brown cardstock and cut them out.
Then trace the large oval shape onto your cream/ tan cardstock and cut it out.
Finally, trace the small circle onto black cardstock and cut it out.
With a black marker, draw some lines on the paws for a more realistic effect.
STEP 3: Put your bear craft together
Attach the paws with some glue onto the sides of your paper bag.
Do the same for the ears, but thing time, glue them on the very top of the paper bag.
STEP 4: Add google eyes
Now, you just need to glue the googly eyes onto your paper bag bear craft and draw a simple smile line as the mouth, and this cute bear craft is complete!
Display your bear craft or have fun using it as a bear paper bag puppet and see what adventures you can go on!
To use this bear craft as a puppet, simply open up the paper bag and put your hand inside. Have fun!
