Make a spider paper-bag puppet with colored or black-and-white pieces. The eight-page PDF includes two craft pages, six illustrated assembly panels and finished-puppet photographs, plus publisher pages.
Supply a ready-made paper bag, scissors and glue, with coloring materials for the black-and-white version. Cut out the spider pieces and attach the body and head to the bag, then use the puppet for imaginative play.
