If you’re searching for an easy puppet making craft
for kids, look no further. I’ve made loads of puppets – plaster pretend friends, paper bag versions and even a marionette or two (not the super-fancy
kinds that you see on stage, but a pint-sized version that a child can create).
The other day my husband left a cork sitting out on the kitchen counter. As a
picked it up to throw away – along with my son’s popsicle stick – it struck me
that combining the two items could equal an uber-easy puppet craft that also
had a lesson on the environment thrown in too.
So, recycle, reuse and get crafting. After your
little artist creates her cork stick puppet, she can use it to stage a pretend
play! Your child can make an imaginary creature, an animal or a favorite character
from a book or movie.
Here’s What You’ll Need:
·
A cork
·
A pipe cleaner
·
A popsicle stick
·
Tempera paint
·
A paintbrush
·
Googley eyes
·
Clay
·
Clear drying school glue
·
Optional: Craft feathers, glitter, felt,
pom poms or craft fur
Here’s What to Do:
1. Paint
the cork with the tempera. Set the cork aside until it dries.
2. Glue
the googley eyes to the front of the cork.
Your child can add the other facial features – the nose and mouth – with
modeling clay. Use colorful clay or encourage your child to paint it her own
hue.
3. Wrap
the pipe cleaner around the cork under the mouth. Fold the two ends in to
create arms at the sides of the cork.
4. Add
extra embellishments such as craft feathers or craft fur to “dress up” the
puppet.
5. Push
the popsicle stick into the bottom of the cork. If your child struggles with
this step, cut a small slit in the bottom with a pair of scissors for her to
ease the stick in.
