Monster Handprint Puppet Craft Supplies:

* Colorful Cardstock {whatever your heart desires!}
* Pen/Marker
* Paper Scissors
* School Glue
* Jumbo Popsicle Sticks
* Wiggle Eyes {in various sizes for a mixed look}

Directions:

* First trace your child’s hands on the cardstock. Repeat for each puppet you want to make {one handprint per monster}
* Trim those out with scissors.
* Now it’s time for the embellishments! Glue on our wiggle eyes {the more the better} and draw on some silly faces.
* At this point in time you can add other embellishments you see fit {like feathers, rhinestones or even yarn hair!}
* To finish off the Handprint Monsters -glue your jumbo popsicle sticks to the back of each pieces to make it easy for puppet play.
* Then set it all aside to let it dry completely before the puppet show!
* Don’t forget to save them after you play, in a scrapbook for safekeeping!
