Santa & Reindeer Puppets
While dashing through holiday preparations, take time to have fun with these favorite seasonal characters. Promote language development by encouraging kids to create scripts for their new puppets.
1. Think about how to construct a puppet of Santa Claus or a reindeer using a paper lunch bag.
2. On colored construction paper, use Crayola® Crayons to draw and color accessories for Santa or his reindeer. For example, make reindeer antlers or Santa's hat and arms.
3. Cut out your creations with Crayola Scissors. Use a Crayola Glue Stick to attach the pieces to the paper bag.
4. Color the puppets. Add features such as eyes and hair.
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.
Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.
