How to Make a Chicken Puppet Craft – Step by Step
Follow this simple guide to bring your chicken to life:
Step 1: Download the Chicken Template
Start by clicking the download link above and printing out the template on regular paper.
Step 2: Trace on Colored Cardstock Paper
Choose bright, farm-style colors for your chicken. Trace each piece of the template onto the corresponding colored cardstock. For example, use yellow for the body, red for the comb, orange for the beak and feet, and white for the wings.
Step 3: Cut the Pieces
Use a good pair of scissors to carefully cut out each part of the chicken. Kids may need help with this step, especially with small parts like the beak.
Step 4: Assemble and Glue
Take your brown paper bag and start gluing the pieces on it. The folded flap of the paper bag should be the face of the chicken (this will allow it to “talk” like a puppet!). Glue the eyes, beak, and comb on the flap, then attach the wings and feet to the body of the bag.
Step 5: Enjoy Your Chicken Puppet
And just like that—your Paper Bag Chicken Craft is done! Slide your hand into the bag and start clucking away with your new chicken puppet.
