For this step, you will need your glue bottle/stick and first, you will put the glue on the back of the eyes.

Next, you will make sure your bag is flipped over to make sure the bottom flap is facing the ceiling, Then you will place the glued side of the eyes down onto the bag.

Nose

You will put glue on one side of the puffball and then stick it under the middle eyes.

Ears

For this next step, you will need the scissors, glue stick/bottle, and the bag

First, you will take the paper and cut two medium-size triangles

Then you will put glue in two spots on the opposite side of the eyes on the bag

then you will grab the triangles and put them on the glue (make sure you can still see some of the triangles from the front view on the puppet)

Arms

Now for this step, you will need the tape and pipe cleaner

You will keep the bag on the opposite side of the eyes and place the pipe cleaner horizontally across the bag.

Make sure its a pipe cleaner so your kiddo can move the arms around :)

Finally, you will put tape over the middle of the pipe cleaner on the bag, make sure it stays and then press down the tape to ensure it stays.

Mouth

Now for the final step, you will need the crayons.

Simply take one color and draw any mouth shape you please below the nose and if desired add a tongue sticking out.

Final Product

And just like that, you're done! You and your child have made your very own puppet, it could be seen as anything desired! I hope you had fun and that my instructions were helpful :)
