Again, we've been looking at old posts and noticed my collection: 18 Creative Ideas for Making Puppets. C wanted to make #2 the Box Puppets so that is what we made. There are so many great ideas on this list so please check it out if you need a puppet idea!
Now, carefully cut along the line that you just drew. Open it up and bend the the part that is not cut. Your fingers and thumb will go in the openings created on each side to make the box talk.
Then cover the box with colored construction paper or with any paper you have on hand. We used the box to trace around on construction paper to create the same size paper to glue on the box.
After you have the paper glued on the box, you are ready to add eyes, antenna, hair, or whatever you choose.
Materials Needed:
Small Box (we used a granola bar or fruit snack box)
scissors
glue
colored paper
craft supplies to design (eyes,pipe cleaners....)
First, tape or glue the box shut on the opening. Draw with a marker along the middle of the closed box and lead over to each side and not the bottom. This will be a guideline of where to cut.
Now, carefully cut along the line that you just drew. Open it up and bend the the part that is not cut. Your fingers and thumb will go in the openings created on each side to make the box talk.

Happy puppet making!
