This polar bear paper bag puppet is so simple to make and to make it even easier I’m sharing two different designs with you today.
This would be a great polar bear craft for preschool as so you can choose the one that’s more suitable for your child’s age but it would also work for older kids too and of course it’s always important to go with your child’s interests – my daughter liked the simpler one more as she said it was cuter!

I must admit that I’m a bit obsessed with paper bag crafts for kids at the moment (you can find some more of ours at the bottom of this page). Generally I try to use stuff that we have in the recycling bin where possible but if say, I were to buy a paper bag full of cookies in the supermarket then hey! I’d have a craft material for free! The fact that I have more than one child means that umm… I need to by cookies quite often at the moment but hey I’m hardly finding that to be a hardship and I can’t say the kids have complained either. This cute scissor skills activity is the perfect way for kids to practice using their scissors without having to use a worksheet and it’s a great way to encourage creativity too.

Have you read The Scarecrows Wedding? It’s one of my favourite Julia Donaldson books and is perfect if your kids are learning about farms, harvest or just if you like activities for kids books! This paper bag puppet is easy for kids to make to act out the story with – or create a new adventure – and today I’m sharing a little video tutorial as well to help you see how easy these are to make.
Love scarecrow crafts? We’ve also got a very cute printable scarecrow craft for you with this little basket that would be perfect for Harvest too!

I’ve been meaning to share this easy owl puppet tutorial for ages, it’s a fun craft because it’s simple enough for all ages and it fits in well with some of the books my kids have been reading, plus they get to play with it afterwards! Over the last year we’ve made quite a lot of paper bag crafts for kids and my children always really enjoy them, we’ve had a lot of puppet shows and they’re great for encouraging creative play so I think we’ll probably be making them for a while yet!

I promised myself I wasn’t going to share any more Christmas crafts this year but this Santa puppet craft is so cute it seemed a shame not to publish it. You might have to excuse the rather brief explanation though as I am supposed to be making breakfast – oops!
