How to Make

Puppet Template.pdf
Step 1

Print out the templates and glue them onto a piece of card, then cut them out.

Step 2

Use colouring pencils to colour in the puppets.

Step 3

Use a pin to make holes in the limbs and body pieces, about 5mm from the edge of the card. Place a piece of BluTack behind the card to allow you to push the pin through easily. Attach the different parts of the puppets together using paper fasteners.

Step 4

Glue the puppets on the top of stirring sticks to finish.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Lovely idea but precise cutting isn't for under 9s Fiddly cutting (not good for most under 9 year olds.) Also, the paper fasteners you sell are very big. Can only just make these. Don't know if my Beaver Scouts fudgy fingers will manage to do the big paper fasteners without ripping the puppet pieces...
