Paper Bag Crow Puppet – Kid Craft Idea For Fall Fun!

It’s been awhile since I’ve in-cooperated paper bags into our kid crafts, but after reading the children’s book Little Black Crow by Chris Raschka to my son – I had to change that immediately and make a fall themed craft in honor of the book. Hence how today’s blog post Paper Bag Crow was born!

Like all our kid friendly tutorials, this black crow friend is super simple to make, all while in-cooperating inexpensive supplies that are probably already in your home.

It also includes little paper handprints, which is one of my favorite things to add to our crafts lately. Not to mention – when the craft is done, you have a puppet that can entertain kids beyond the craft itself!

Ready to learn how to make this cute little bird with your child today? Let’s grab our supplies, follow the full tutorial for this adorable Paper Bag Crow Puppet below and get to work! Don’t forget to share pictures with us when you do, on our Facebook page! #gluedtomycrafts

Black Crow Puppet Craft Supplies:

* Large Paper Bag – one per crow puppet craft
* Black Craft Paint
* Kid Friendly Craft Scissors
* White Cardstock
* Yellow Cardstock
* Black Cardstock
* School Glue
* Hand-Held Office Stapler
* White Chalk
* Foam Paint Brush

The Simple Directions:

* First trace both of your child’s hands on the black cardstock with the white chalk.
* Now grab the scissors and cut out the traced handprints to make the “wings” of the crow.
* Next have your child paint the front of their paper bag, completely black.
* Once done, set aside to let it dry completely.
* Trim out some eyes and a nose for the crow out of your cardstock.
* To finish off the Paper Bag Crow craft, staple the handprints to the side of the paper bag and glue the eyes/nose onto the paper bag as well.
* Don’t forget to add the feather on top of the head!
* Then share a picture with us on Facebook so we can admire it from afar! #gluedtomycrafts
