Create a paper-bag puppet owl

What you need
* Brown paper bag
* Brown construction paper
* Scissors
* Craft glue
* Orange, yellow and black craft foam
* One black chenille stem
* Black marker
What to do
1. Lay the bag flat, with the flap side up.
2. Measure the width and depth of the bag flap. Then, cut a rectangle of brown construction paper that same size. Cut rectangle shape into a triangle shape and glue onto the bag as shown.
3. Cut two brown construction paper triangles about 2 inches tall for the ears. Glue the bottom of the ears to the back of the bag as shown.
4. Cut out two yellow foam circles for the eyes, about 2 inches in diameter.
5. Cut two black foam circles for the pupils about ½ inch in diameter. Glue the pupils onto the yellow circles.
6. Glue the eyes to the center of the bag.
7. Cut two 1 inch chenille stem pieces and glue on as eyebrows.
8. Cut the beak from orange foam. (We made ours a diamond or kite shape about 2 inches long.)9. Glue only the top part of the beak onto the head, with half the beak coming over the flap.
10. Cut two three-toed feet out of orange foam. Cut one piece first and use that piece as a pattern for the second.
11. Cut three black foam claws for each foot. Glue the claws onto the feet; glue the feet onto the paper bag as shown.
12. Cut an oval shape of the brown construction paper and glue it to the belly.
13. To make a wing, trace around your hand on the brown construction paper. Repeat this for the second wing and cut out both pieces. Glue the edge of each wing to the back of the bag as shown.When you’re not using your owl puppet, you can place the owl over a plastic bottle to display.
