There’s something nostaligic about a paper bag puppet. I also love that they’re simple to make and don’t take up a lot of space or require very many supplies.
Supplies
- Brown paper bag
- Glue stick
- Scissors
- Frankenstein template (download below)
The template for this Halloween puppet comes in full color so it’s a simple cut and paste.
Directions
1 – Print out the Frankenstein template and cut out all the pieces.
There’s no coloring required for this one unless the kids want to color the eyes or teeth.
2 – Attach the head.
There are only four pieces for this craft!
Start by lining up the head. The bottom of the piece should line up with the bottom of the flap of the paper bag.
I recommend covering the flap of the bag with glue then placing the piece on top. The head is taller than the bag flap so this avoids have the glue too high.
3 – Attach the mouth
Add the mouth-piece to the main portion of the bag. The piece should slide up partially under the flap of the paper bag.
For this piece, go ahead and cover the back of the piece with glue before placing it on the bag.
4 – Add the finishing touches.
Finally, add the bolts.
You can add them up by the head or at the bottom of the mouth if you want them positioned more in the neck area.
For the bolts, cover the front stem piece of the bolt with glue and then attach to the back of the paper bag. That way the grey part will be facing forward.
5 – Get ready to play
A puppet can be used for so many things! You can, of course, just use it as a simple craft for Halloween.
You can also use your puppet to act out a story or play, whether it’s one you make up as you go along or a short story that kids write out ahead of time.
Maybe kids will even get inspired to create their own Halloween puppets.
