Paper Bag Animal Puppet

It's fun and easy to make your own animal puppets using plain brown paper bags. You can make different kinds of animals just make sure you don't cut the bag otherwise your puppet will be ruined. Cut out shapes from different colours of construction paper to make whatever kind of animal you want. You can add fun things like food in their mouths, tongues hanging out or funny eyes.  There is no limit to the kinds of animals you can make.
You can make paper capes for your puppets and turn on a fan to make the capes look like they are blowing in the wind.
To use them you put you hand inside the bag and curl your fingers over the fold to open and close the puppets mouth. Just make sure don't straighten your fingers all the way or the bag will open up to much and your puppet will be stuck with his mouth wide open.
After you've made all your puppets you can do puppet shows for your family and friends. It's even more fun if you get your friends to help you put on a puppet show.
