Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Follow a numbered multi-step sequence (print, color, cut, glue, assemble) to complete a hands-on craft.
Practice scissor-cutting skills by cutting individual animal pieces along their outlines.
Build fine-motor control through coloring, cutting, and gluing paper pieces onto a three-dimensional bag.
Teaching tips
Have students color the pieces before cutting, using the reference photo on the instructions page as a guide.
Let the glued bag dry fully before students put a hand inside, since the last step is meant to happen only after assembly is complete.
Offer the black-and-white instruction page as a self-directed coloring option alongside the full-color version for students who finish early.
Skills covered
Sequential task following — students execute five ordered assembly steps (print, color, cut, glue body, glue head) in the order shown.
Scissor-cutting practice — students cut individual gorilla body and head pieces along their printed outlines.
Fine-motor gluing and assembly — students position and glue flat paper parts onto a paper bag to build a puppet.
Coloring within a template — students color the animal pieces to match the reference photo before assembly.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
How does the finished craft get used once it's assembled?
After the glued paper bag dries, students slide a hand inside so the gorilla puppet can talk and move — the last of the five assembly steps turns the flat, glued pieces into a working hand puppet.
