Cow Puppet

By Sherri Osborn, About.com

Instructions for making a cow puppet using a paper lunch bag.

Materials Needed:

  • Paper Lunch Bag (preferably white)
  • Black Paint
  • Circle-Shaped Sponge
  • Construction Paper
  • Glue

Instructions:
Use a white paper lunch bag if you can. Use the construction paper or markers to make a face on the bottom of the paper bag. The mouth will be on the bottom edge where the bag is folded. You can also use felt and cut out eyes, nose, etc. Cut small, pointy ear shapes out of construction paper and glue them to the side of the bottom edge of the paper bag.

Once your face is drawn, you can finish making your cow by giving it black spots! Dip a small, round sponge into black paint and dab it on the bag. Set it aside until the paint dries.
