How to Make a Polar Bear Paper Bag Puppet

To make this polar bear out of paper, start by assembling the pieces.

Use glue to attach the inner ears to the outer ears. Then glue the nose onto the center of the head.

Attach the feet at the bottom of the body and the tail on the lower left side of the body.

Now, glue the ears onto the top corners of the head.

Attach the grey belly by gluing it onto the lower third of the body piece.

Time to break out the paper bag!

Turn the bag upside down with the flap facing up. Flip the flap up and glue the body onto the paper bag.

The flap should come down over the top of the body.

Use markers and crayons to add eyes, a nose, and cheeks to the polar bear’s head, if you want.

Finally, glue the head onto the bag flap.

And that’s all!

Isn’t that a simply adorable polar bear puppet?
