We’ve had a string of cold, rainy days – I know boo-hoo. The kids were going a bit crazy, so we pulled out our scissors and Kumon workbooks and started having fun. Suddenly, I had a stroke of motherhood genius and realized the pages that Little Miss was cutting apart from the Let’s Cut Paper workbook would make very nice paper bag puppets. She loved the idea, so I grabbed the glue sticks and a stack of paper bags (part of every crafter’s stash, right?) and the kids had a blast making and playing with these puppets. Then we pulled out the puppet stage I made them for Christmas and hung it in the doorway and they presented their hilarious shows. “Hi, I’m a puppet! I’m a goat puppet. How are you today? It’s raining outside!!” Good rainy times had by all.
Too cute what a great idea and good way to use your noggin!! Love it!
Thanks Mom! I learned from the best 🙂 YOU!
Too cute. Bug is almost to those pages in that very book. We’ll have to steal your idea – maybe today on this cold, snowy afternoon! We also saved the pages that he had to cut out & rearrange to form the picture. I put them in a “puzzle baggie” for him.
I love the stage too. I may have to make one of those too . . . but not today. :0)
Have fun with them, Bessers! And the puppet stage was super easy and fun to make, when you get around to it. The pattern was from the Amy Karol book Bend the Rules Sewing.
So very cute! I wish we could have spent more time together when we lived in FL!
