The Puppet Company - Finger Puppets - Chick

Product Information

Parents and teachers, rejoice! We have a whole host of fabulous craft activities that children of all ages can make to prepare for the Easter celebrations. Buttons! As a kid I used two buttons and string instead of one brad. Place one button on each side of the holes and “sew” them together.

Trace the pieces for the Easter basket puppet - light brown for the basket and handle, and cut some thin strips of paper in dark brown for the basket weave. Cut the eggs from bright colors. This Easter, get your kids excited about the holiday with a fun and creative Easter play dough kit. This activity is perfect for keeping little ones entertained and engaged, without having to worry about screens. Let them explore their creativity while getting some sensory input too! Whether you’re looking for a new decoration or some fun activities for the kids, these projects have something for everyone. The Cow Said Neigh! is a fun and silly book about farm animals who wish they were another farm animal. Kids will enjoy the rhyming and learn that each of us (animals included) has strengths we should embrace. Once all is nicely colored and dry (if coloring with markers you might need to give them a bit of time to dry) cut all parts of the template out.Easter Basket Craft– This free Easter basket template is the perfect way to get your kids in on the fun of Easter crafting. This simple project can be whipped up in no time, leaving you more time to focus on the important things – like finding all the real eggs! The string connecting the two wings should be somewhat loose – just enough so that the wings can fall down, when the puppet is held upright. This Easter bunny felt kit is great for kids to play with on their own or for them to do with other kids. Let them build their own bunny and have fun creating it over and over again.

As I previously mentioned, brads were not really a thing when I was a kid (or at least I was not aware of them). There are some alternatives you can use. The above is for 1 puppet, so to make 4 or however many you need just multiply. How to make the pop up puppetEverything you need to know to recreate this hen inspired craft, can be found in the full tutorial below! This is another fun way to work on memory skills with your kids. This time, they’ll be matching farm animals to their shadows. Take the body piece and glue it to the main portion of the paper bag. Cut off the excess paper bag that extends beyond the paper. We used mini brads in this project, something that wasn’t really availablewhen I was a kid so I do have an alternative for that (more about this in the tutorial). When I learned how to make the movable paper dolls as a kid (the same exact “mechanism” you’ll see used in this tutorial) I became unstoppable. There was a new funky creation on the menu daily and I was trying to make new ways for the dolls to move.
