Supplies needed:
- paper lunch bag
- small paper plate
- gray and white paint
- paint brush
- gray and black cardstock paper
- googly eyes
- scissors
- stapler
Tutorial:
1. Paint your plate & paper bag
Start by painting the bottom of your small paper plate with your gray paint. Also paint the front of your paper bag with your gray and white paint. Set them aside to dry completely.
2. Attach your body parts together
When your paint is dry, staple your small paper plate to the bottom of the paper bag. Cut two circles out of your gray cardstock paper and staple them onto the sides of the paper plate for koala ears.
3. Make slits
Cut slits along the bottom of the ears so it looks like hair.
4. Add nose & eyes
Cut an oval shaped nose out of your black cardstock paper and glue it onto your paper plate along with your googly eyes. If you want to, you can also draw a mouth onto your paper bag koala with a marker.
This little koala guy turned out super adorable and he is so fun to use as a puppet. We haven’t made our trip to the library this week yet, but we are planning on searching for some koala themed books to use our puppet with.
