Paper Bag Mouse Puppet

Print out the template of choice.
Colour the pieces as appropriate and cut them out. (cutting may require adult assistance and can be pre-done).
See the picture above for how the puppet should look when complete.

I'm going to walk through this slowly, so try not to giggle at me.

Look at your paper bag. It should be closed and flat like a piece of paper. Just like when they are brand new.
On one side, it's all smooth. This will be the BACK of your puppet
- It's important that all the kids get the back and front straight at the beginning!
On the other side there's a flippy tab (which is typically the bottom of the bag when you're carrying your lunch around...)
- This flippy tab will be the HEAD
Lift the flippy tab up a bit. Underneath of the tab will be the mouth,
- When the child put's her hand in the bag, she'll be able to make the puppet talk.
Look at the rest of the front of the bag. (The 3/4 or so of the bag below the part with the flippy tab) This will be the BODY.
Look at the sides of the bag. There should be a FLAP of paper.
- We'll be slipping the arms into this flap, though it isn't a big deal if they glue them right to the front of the body.

Fold the corners of the flippy tab under and glue/ tape them to make a triangular head shape.
Glue or tape three strips of black paper (whiskers) to the end of the triangle.
Glue or tape the nose onto the end of the triangle, overlapping the whiskers.
Lift the flap/snout and glue the tongue on underneath it.
Glue the eyes and ears onto the head.
