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
