By Trixie Bellows

You will need: paper, pencils, scissors, felt squares, craft glue or glue gun, small plastic eyes, small black beads, and small pom-poms.

  1. Trace patterns and cut out.

  2. Cut out two body pieces for each puppet.

  3. Glue body together around outside edges, but leaving bottom open. (Note: Place ears and chicken comb between body pieces before gluing.)

  4. Study prototypes on this page, then finish each animal puppet as illustrated. See if you can create other animals too! Optional: Enlarge patterns so that bodies fit over hard-cooked eggs for Easter.
