Silly Puppet Craft Supplies:

• Small Paint Brushes
• Small Paper Plate
• Thick Tacky Glue or Hot Glue Gun

Directions:

• First things first –  pull out your wavy craft stick and paint supplies.
• Squirt the paint on the paper plate.
• Use the paint brush to paint the wavy stick however you like!
• When done, set aside the painting materials.
• Now grab the other embellishments. Turn on the glue gun if you are working for that.
• Have your child pick out their feathers for each of the silly hair stick puppets they will be making. A good rule of thumb is two feathers per puppet.
• Once the feather colors are decided, go ahead and glue it to the top of the painted wavy stick.
• Now you are ready to really give the stick puppets some life. Grab some wiggle eyes, some small pom poms and your glue.
• Go ahead and glue those onto the wooden craft stick like a face.
• Use your Sharpie markers to draw on a face as well.
• When done with the decorating, set it aside to let them dry completely.
• You’re almost to the finishing line with this last step! Go ahead and grab a pipe cleaner & wrap it a few times around the craft stick, as well as twisting it a bit to look like arms.
• At this point, you can also add other embellishments as you see fit OR get straight to the imaginative play with your awesome new creations!
