Elephant Puppet Craft

By Sherri Osborn, About.com

Make this Elephant Puppet out of a paper plate.

Materials Needed:

  • Paper Plate
  • Gray Paint
  • Gary Construction Paper
  • Popsicle Stick
  • Glue

Instructions:
Paint a paper plate gray to look like an elephant. Cut two large ear shapes out of the construction paper and glue them in place. Cut out a big circle in the center of the plate where the nose would be. Glue or tape a popsicle stick on the back side, along the bottom edge. Use the stick to control your puppet. Slip your arm through the hole to be the elephant's trunk!
