It's time for a puppet show! Give us a show of hands: who loves puppets (no pun intended)? Ella and Annie created some adorable handprint puppets to keep your kiddos busy. The girls decided to create a royal family, dressed to the nines in sequins and jewels. To get started you'll need paint, white card stock, markers, assorted sequins, self-adhesive jewels and glue. Don't you just love how our prince and princesses turned out?
To create a skin tone for your puppet, you can mix orange and white and/or brown and white until desired color is reached. You can also use multicultural paint. Paint the palm side of your hand with the paint.
Press your hand onto the white card stock. Use your other hand to press down on the back of the fingers and palm of the painted hand. This will help ensure full coverage.
Trim off the thumb. Draw face on the handprints with Crayola markers.
Use yarn to add hair to the back of the handprint. Attach hair using hot glue.
Use sequins and self-adhesive jewels to add some sparkle to the royal crowns. Attach with Elmer's glue as needed. Glue a craft stick to the back of each handprint puppet.
