Paper Bag Haircuts: A Cute Scissor Skills Craft

by

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 craft is the perfect way for kids to practice their scissor skills and of course a snack and a cup of tea for parents seems more than appropriate.

The Scarecrows Wedding Paper Bag Puppet Craft

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.

Easy Owl Puppet for Kids

by

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!

Paper Bag Reindeer Puppet

by

I love crafts that are easy enough for kids to make themselves and this sweet paper bag reindeer puppet ticks all the boxes for me. I love paper bag crafts for kids because they’re simple, don’t require tons of materials that are tricky to find and it’s something that they can play with afterwards. This craft also required me and the kids to eat cookies which was a great hardship but somehow we endured it! Here’s how you can make this craft too.
