Easy Paper Bag Puppet Craft

Here’s a quick and simple paper bag puppet craft that you can set up in two seconds and let the kids enjoy for hours.
This easy puppet craft for kids was a perfect boredom solution for a week of no school, mommy working from home, and daddy traveling.
Materials
- Paper bags
- Self-stick googly eyes
- Self-stick glitter foam (you can substitute with construction paper and glue)
- Scissors
How To
Just let your kids cut out shapes from the glitter foam and stick to their puppets! How simple is that.
I set out a pile of the materials last week when we had a babysitter coming in every day and the kids made new puppets almost every day. They loved having creative craft time, plus lots of pretend play with their handmade friends.

Note: I think the babysitter did most of the cutting by the looks of the orderly shapes, so don’t expect your preschooler or kindergartner to come up with such exact features. If it were me supervising, I would have definitely let the kids cut wild!

These came out awesome! We are crazy puppeteers over here..we have an insane number of puppets- but that doesn’t stop my kids from wanting to make their own when they can. Your craft was cooler than ours- Tonight, we just colored odd face and hand parts and cut them out and the kids glued them onto toilet paper rolls to make monsters….It was something to fill the time while the eggs boiled.
But, it was fun! I like the colors of your felt up there!
