Instructions
| Step 1. Gather your supplies.
| |
| Step 2.
To make the lion puppet, glue yellow poms onto a small plate. Ours was already yellow but if yours isn’t colored, feel free to paint it. To make the lion’s head, cut a small circle from yellow foam and glue to the middle of the Pom covered plate. |
| Step 3.
Finish the lion’s face by adding (2) small yellow poms side by side and a tiny black pom as the nose. Glue (2) wiggly eyes on top to complete the face. |
| Step 4.
Fold (3) brown Fuzzy Sticks like an accordion, as shown. |
| Step 5.
Glue the Fuzzy Sticks around the lion’s head to create the mane. Use the brown marker to draw a mouth and whiskers. |
| Step 6.
Fold one end of an orange Fuzzy Stick over and twist to make a loop. Pinch the top of the loop to create the shape shown. |
| Step 7.
Cut 2 smaller pieces from the end of the Fuzzy Stick and fill in the loop, so that it looks like a furry lion’s tail. |
| Step 8.
To make the lion’s legs, cut (2) strips of yellow foam and use the brown marker to add claws. |
| Step 9.
Glue the tail and legs to finish your lion. |
| Step 10.
To make the sheet puppet, turn a small paper plate over and glue on white poms. |
| Step 11.
To make the sheep’s head, cut the pear shape shown from black foam and glue on (2) wiggly eyes. Glue to the center of the plate. |
| Step 12.
Cut (2) strips of white foam with (2) small black squares to create the sheep’s legs. |
 | Step 13.
Finish your lion and lamb puppets, by gluing a Jumbo Wood stick to the back of each puppet! |
