Brown Bag Puppets

Kids of ALL ages have fun making these Brown Bag Puppets. We started this activity after spending the morning with a puppeteer and balloon maker, but any children with active imaginations will love this regardless. Let them make as many as they want, even if they're just scribbles, and ask them to tell you who or what they're puppet is and what he is doing. Make one yourself to join in, especially if they all seem to be making the same type of characters! Soon they'll have a whole cast!

Some of the kid's favorites were:
Dragons (I made a princess and a dragon slayer! They LOVED this.)
Butterflies (make construction or tissue paper wings and fly around outside!)
The Zoo (make your favorite animal and pretend we're in a zoo, others come to visit the zoo. practices making animal sounds, too!)
