How to Make a Gingerbread Puppet
You can make a fun gingerbread puppet at home or at school. This puppet is made from thick brown paper called cardstock. It is very easy to create and fun to play with. You will need just a few simple craft items to begin.
First, gather all of your craft supplies on a clean table. You will need brown cardstock paper, bright crayons, and child scissors. You also need a bottle of school glue and one wooden craft stick. A pencil will help you draw your puppet before you cut.
Now you are ready to start making your little paper friend. Use your pencil to draw a gingerbread shape on the brown cardstock. Draw a round head, two arms, and two short legs. Carefully use your scissors to cut along the pencil lines.
Next, it is time to decorate your new gingerbread character. Use white and red crayons to add a friendly smile and bright eyes. You can draw wavy lines on the arms and legs to look like sweet frosting. Add colorful buttons down the middle of the body to finish the look.
