About Unique Cat Paper Bag Craft
You can make a grey cat like the one in the picture or use different colors for an orange, brown, tan or black cat.
Puppets are fun tools for teaching; children are always happy to engage with an activity when invited by a cheerful little puppet. It is amazing how a smiling kitty cat can encourage even very shy children to take part in circle time.
Materials:
a paper lunch bag
two sheets of construction paper or paint in the color you're making your kitty,
a printer,
some crayons,
scissors,
glue,
paper for the printer
Optional:
big wiggly eyes .
Print the Template:
You can either print just template one or both templates.
oThe more children you have per adult and the younger the children are, the simpler (less templates) you want the craft to be.
oIf you aren't sure how many templates you should use, print both, but hide #2. If the kids make it through #1 and are eager for more, bring out the other. If they are tired of crafting, save them for another day or just discard them.
Color (as required) and cut out the template pieces.
Get Familiar with Your Paper Bag:
Were going to walk through this slowly. Look at your paper bag.
It should be closed and flat like a piece of paper. Just like when they are brand new.
On one side, it's all smooth. This will be the BACK of your puppet
oIt's important that all the kids get the back and front straight at the beginning!
On the other side there's a flippy tab (which is typically the bottom of the bag when you're carrying your lunch around...)
oThis flippy tab will be the HEAD.
Lift the flippy tab up a bit. Underneath of the tab will be the mouth,
oWhen the child puts her hand in the bag, she'll be able to make the puppet talk.
Look at the rest of the front of the bag. (The 3/4 or so of the bag below the part with the flippy tab) This will be the BODY.
Look at the sides of the bag. There should be a FLAP of paper.
oWe'll be slipping the arms (template 2) into this flap.
oIf the kids goof and glue the arms onto the front or back of the bag, it isn't a big deal.
OK, now that we're comfy with our bags, let's craft!
Template #1
Cover the paper bag with construction paper (just glue it on and trim) or paint the paper bag and let dry.
Glue the muzzle onto the HEAD. It should overlap the body a bit.
Glue the nose onto the HEAD. It should overlap the muzzle a bit.
Glue the eyes onto the HEAD above the nose. If you like, you can use wiggly eyes instead of the paper template pieces.
Glue the ears onto the sides of the HEAD.
Glue the tongue underneath the flippy tab so you can see part of the circle sticking out from under the muzzle.
Glue three whiskers (long, thin rectangle pieces) onto either side of the muzzle.
Glue the tummy onto the body.
Template #2
Glue the arms into the FLAP.
Glue the tail onto the BACK.
