Baby Chicks Puppet Supplies:

* Orange Colored Cardstock
* Yellow Colored Cardstock
* Jumbo Wavy Popsicle Stick {one per chick puppet}
* Loose Craft Glitter
* Small Wiggle Eyes
* Kid Friendly Scissors
* School Glue or Glue Stick
* Pencil or Marker
optional – embellishments like rhinestones, sequins

Directions:

* First trace your child’s hand on the yellow cardstock. Repeat for each puppet you want to make {one handprint per puppet}
* Trim out the traced handprint out, with the scissors.
* With the remaining orange cardstock, go ahead and cut out a triangular beak & long legs for each baby chick.
* Now it’s time for the embellishments on the handprint! Go ahead and place lines of glue on each finger.
* Sprinkle glitter on top.
* Shake off excess glitter into the trashcan.
* To finish off the Handprint Baby Chick Puppet – glue your cardstock pieces to your handprint cutout, along with the wiggle eyes.
* Follow that up by gluing your jumbo popsicle stick to the back of your handprint cardstock piece.
* Then set it all aside to let it dry completely before the puppet show!
