Puppet making ideas for kids

Last weekend, my kids came up with a delightful idea to put on a puppet show. The only catch? We didn't have any puppets. Seeing their excitement, I thought, why not make them ourselves? With a little bit of research and lots of imagination, we set out to create our puppet cast. We gathered old socks, yarn, buttons, and fabric scraps. It turned into a fun crafting afternoon, filled with laughter and creativity. Each puppet began to take on its own character, sparking stories from my kids…

These adorable spring animal popsicle stick puppets are the perfect craft for spring! Your toddler will love having a lamb, bunny, and chick to play with throughout the day. Simply download the templates for each animal, cut them out, and piece them together to make cute animals for your kids to add to their imaginative play. All you need is white embossed and colored paper, the template, popsicle sticks, a sharpie, a pencil, craft glue, and scissors to make this fun craft with your kids.
