Supplies needed:
|
Clean a styrofoam tray with warm water and detergent.
Using a pen, draw the outline of an animal (head or entire body), person, or something else on the tray. A simple circle or oval with ears will make most animal heads. |
Go to a cat template |
Cut out the animal. For templates, click on the pictures near the top of the page (or the cat to the left). There are templates of stars, a cat, a dog, an apple, a fish, a tooth, a snowman, a rabbit, and a butterfly. |
For the puppet's details (like the nose, eyes, mouth, whiskers, or a hat), either draw them with a pen (or marker), or cut them out of construction paper and glue them on the puppet. To make hair or whiskers, you can glue on bits of yarn.
Optional: Glue on googly eyes using a glue stick. |
Tape the back of your styrofoam animal to the end of a drinking straw. |
You now have a great animal puppet that you can use to put on a play or use while reading your favorite story. |
