... and Paper Bag Puppets!

As it's Summer and we are making the most of having some family time, I thought I would do a "quickie post" for today:
Mally turned 4 in June! Among his MANY birthday presents this year, he received this Paper Bag Puppet Kit by Artzooka! from his Aunty Ruby. A great opportunity to get some easy but absorbing crafting in! Just what we needed when his mum and dad needed to recuperate from the celebrations!

The kit comes complete with 4 paper bags, and all of the "body parts" you need to make the different puppets. It also comes with double sided sticky tape but Mally found this too fiddly (his mum too!) and so we opted for a good old glue stick!
15 minutes (and a change of top) later:
And that's all there is to it! The best part is that we are now inspired to use our own bags and make up some completely new characters!!

NB: All Opinions are my own - this was a voluntary post not known to, or requested by Artzooka!

We are linking up to these parties!

    They look like lots of fun to make and play with - now I need to find some paper bags for my toddler and I to play with.

      Thanks! Having the kit helped lots but you could easily make the inches yourself! xx
