Cupcake Liner Pigeon & Duckling

Cupcake Liner Pigeon & Duckling Puppet - Kid Craft

Cupcake Liner Pigeon & Duckling

This Cupcake Liner Pigeon & Duckling Kid Craft is not only super fun, simple and inexpensive BUT it also goes along perfectly with the Pigeon Presents series {our personal fav being – The Duckling Gets A Cookie!?}

Award-winning writer and illustrator Mo Willems has created one of the funniest, whiniest, most persistent characters ever-a demanding city pigeon! Before stepping out for a moment, the bus driver of the award-winning Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! makes one simple request of readers: “Don’t let the pigeon drive the bus.” That wouldn’t seem to be a big problem-until Pigeon starts wheedling and pleading! Whether he’s begging for a puppy or trying to stay up late, this funny bird acts exactly the way children do when they’re trying to get their way, and both kids and adults will recognize his behavior.

At the same time, Willems puts readers in control, giving them a taste of what it’s like to be the voice of reason. Readers will delight in telling the pigeon what to do-and perhaps recognize a bit of themselves in his over-the-top antics. What could be more fun? Includes Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!, The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog!, Don’t Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late!, and The Pigeon Wants a Puppy!

So what are you waiting for? Aren’t these cupcake liner puppets super fun?! Let’s grab our craft supplies, follow the step by step pigeon and duckling craft tutorial below and get to work. Don’t forget to raid your local library so you have some books to read in honor of you adorable blue pigeon and yellow duck creations! Happy crafting my friends!
