Instructions for Leprechaun Finger Puppets
1.
Cut out each of the pieces of the template.
Trace the leprechaun rectangle body and rectangle bottom of the hat on green cardstock.
Then trace the large beard shape on orange cardstock.
Finally trace the leprechaun face on cream cardstock and the brim of the hat on black cardstock.
Cut out traced pieces
Cut out each of the traced template pieces on the different colored cardstock.
Use your 3/4-inch circle punch to cut out the two circles at the bottom of the rectangle.
This creates the holes for you to place your finger in after your leprechaun puppet is created.
Glue cream face piece onto orange beard
Glue the cream leprechaun face onto the orange beard.
Using scissors, carefully cut strips along the entire perimeter of the beard.
Just confirm to not cut into the face of the leprechaun.
Glue hat pieces
Now glue the bottom of the hat at the top of the leprechaun head.
Finish by gluing the small black rectangle on the hat.
Then glue a small orange pom on your leprechaun for a nose.
Your leprechaun finger puppets are ready for play time!
Move your fingers around and watch as your leprechaun walks and dances around.
Walk and dance your leprechaun finger puppets around in the colorful poms like they are playing in a rainbow.
