Puppets are always fun to make because they’re like two activities in oneโ€”a craft plus an open-ended imaginary play prompt so kids can make up their own stories with the finished craft.

If you want to extend the activity, you could make a little cereal box theatre to go with it.

    Iโ€™m basically a big kid who never grew up and still loves to muck around with paint, glitter, glue and toilet rolls. With the crafts shared here on this website Iโ€™m hoping to give other parents and carers inspiration to get crafty with their kids at home โ€“ make our projects, or use them as a source of inspiration to spark ideas of your own. When it comes to crafting no rules apply!
