Halloween Stick Puppet Instructions

Each stick puppet uses two paper plates for stability. Place craft stick between the two plates and glue together. I tried this with Elmer’s School Glue and it worked but the Craft Glue Stick works much better!) Let dry before continuing.

FRANKENSTEIN

Paint top plate green. Add hair and bolts. Draw facial features. Add some scars for fun!

MUMMY

Tear strips of construction paper to wrap the mummy. We used pink to make this a girl mummy. Draw or paint eyes and attach bow.

WITCH

Paint plate green. Make hair from strips of construction paper folded accordion style. Glue hair and hat to top plate. Add nose (fold nose in half to make dimensional). Finish by adding facial features.
