How it works
- Choose the characters and colour or outline.
- Print, colour and cut out the head, the mouth, the body and the small pieces.
- Glue the head on the flap of a paper lunch bag, the mouth under it and the body on the front.
Frequently asked questions
- What kind of bag do I need?
- A flat-bottomed paper lunch bag: the folded bottom is the flap that makes the mouth move.
- How does the mouth work?
- Put your hand in the bag with fingers in the flap; open and close your hand and the puppet talks.
- Is it good for class?
- Yes — a craft and a play in one; children can write a short dialogue for their puppets.
- Are there smaller puppets?
- Yes — the finger puppets fit up to eight characters on a page.
- Is anything uploaded?
- No. The pages are made in your browser.
