One of my daughters favorite books right now is Five Green and Speckled Frogs.
Read our simple step-by-step instructions below for how to make this fun paper bag puppet.
Supplies needed:
Tutorial:
1.
Paint a paper bag
Start by painting the front of your paper bag with your green paint.
Set aside the paper bag to dry completely.
Print a pattern
Print out thepaper bag frog pattern.
The first page of the template can easily be printed out on green cardstock paper.
The second page of the template has a mixture of pieces.
Cut out each of the pieces of the template.
An alternative to using the circle pieces of the template is to make them with circle punches.
Use a 2-inch circle punch to cut out two white circles and one green circle.
Cut the green circle in half to make eyelids.
Make eyes
Glue the black pupil circles on the large white circles to make eyes.
Then glue the large green half circles at the top of each of the eyes for eyelids.
Add green circles
Glue your light green circles all over your paper bag.
Glue a mouth
Curl your red strip of paper around a pencil or your finger tightly to curl it.
Then glue it under the front flap of the puppet inside the frog mouth.
Open and close your finger to watch as the frog mouth opens and closes.
Hes a pretty cute little fella.
