Paper Hand Puppets

Daughter W. loves puppets. I found the instructions for folding paper into puppets in the Family Fun magazine (familyfun.com), and we had to try it. I have been doing the sketching and she colors in the details. We are very happy with the results.

She made this Siamese cat for friend Sissy's birthday.

I love paper crafts and this is a great one.

Fold a sheet of paper into thirds the long way. We glued the open edge closed. You can tape it closed, but then you cannot color over the tape. Double stick tape should also work well along the seam.

Fold the paper tube in half with the seam to the outside. Then fold each half into another half with the bend the opposite way. Decorate, stick your fingers and thumb in the open ends and put on a play!
