Sack Puppet

This is a favorite from my childhood. Turning an ordinary lunch sack into a puppet with a moving mouth. Today lunch sacks are available in an array of colors!

Materials Needed:
Lunch size paper sack
Colored construction paper
Glue stick
Scissors
Yarn
Crayons or felt tip pins

Directions:
1.Use the bottom of the sack for the puppet's face. When you put your hand into the sack you can move the sack's bottom up and down. The lower fold will be the puppet's mouth and under the fold of the sack's bottom will be the inside of the puppet's mouth.
2. Use colored construction paper to cut out features, arms, legs or clothes for the puppet. Secure using glue stick.
3. Glue on strands of yard for hair or facial hair. Decorate with crayons or pens.
