My kids and I couldn’t agree on what our reptile puppet looked like more, a frog, lizard or snake. What do you think? I called him our lazy lizard. We added a cute curly-q tongue, googly eyes and green spots. Did you know that some lizards have four legs and others are legless? Take the time while creating our puppets to learn cool details about each animal!
Begin by cutting a face, mouth and body from the construction paper. All measurements are approximate; face 4 3/4″ x 3 1/4″, mouth 4 3/4″ x 1 3/4″ and the body 8″ x 4 3/4″.
Cut out a green face, body and mouth. Use a glue stick to attach the paper to the paper bag. Make sure you cover the side of the bag with the paper flap. The flap will serve as the puppets mouth.

Using a green marker, draw circles on the reptile’s body. Add nostrils to the face using a black marker. Glue the googly eyes on the reptile with white craft glue.
