Puppets & Pals
Turn plain paper plates into puppets with personality. Bring them to life with yarn hair and your imagination!
1. Make a face! Using Crayola® Multicultural Crayons, draw a face on the center of a small paper plate. Add eyes, nose, mouth, eyebrows, and/or freckles with Crayola Crayons. Use your imagination to make facial expressions such as happy, sad, surprised, or angry.
2. Create a hair style. Use latch-hook rug yarn or ask an adult to cut yarn for hair. Arrange yarn in any style and attach it to your puppet with Crayola School Glue. Glue or tie on hair ribbons if you wish. Air-dry the glue.
3. Add finishing touches. To give each puppet’s face a shape, tear away any extra paper plate. Glue a craft stick to the back of the puppet for a handle. Air-dry the glue before you put on your first show.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
String-Like Materials—Includes string, raffia, lacing, yarn, ribbon, and other similar material. Children 3 years and younger should not be given any string-like material that is longer than 12 inches. Close adult supervision is essential whenever children use string-like material. When crafts are to be worn around the necks of children 8 years and younger, attach the ends of the “string-like material” with clear adhesive tape, which allows easy release of the bond if the craft becomes entangled or caught on equipment. For children older than 8 years, the ends of the “string-like material” may be tied and knotted.
Wood—By its nature, wood is rough and may contain splinters or sharp points
