An acorn walks into a puppet show. This one is a paper bag puppet with the biggest smile in the forest: colour the cap, the face and the little leaves and hands, cut them out, and glue them onto a brown paper bag. Then open the bag, close the bag, and let the acorn tell its story. One template, one download, and a puppet that is ready for the table by the time the glue dries.
The Acorn Paper Bag Puppet
Ages 3–6. Colour, cut along the dashed lines, and glue the pieces onto a paper bag — the face goes on the flap, the cap on top, the leaves and hands on the sides. A glue stick and safety scissors are all it takes; an adult should do the cutting for the youngest children.
How to print (A4 and US Letter)
Print the PDF single-sided on A4 or US Letter, 100% scale. Colour first, then cut along the dashed lines, then glue onto a paper bag. Let the glue dry flat before the puppet show starts.
