What To Do
- To Make the Bunny Rabbit Stick Puppet
- Tape the egg closed around the seam with clear tape.
- Cut out 2 bunny ear shapes from blue foam paper or construction paper.
- Glue 2 small pieces of cotton inside the bunny ears.
- Glue (or use double side tape) to attach the the top of the blue egg.
- Use a Sharpie or Black Fabric Paint to put bunny eyes, nose, and whiskers on your bunny.
- Glue or use double sided tape to attach a cotton ball tail to the back of your bunny.
- Set aside to dry both tail and fabric paint/marker.
- Cut 2 pieces of blue foam that are about 1/2 inch longer and slightly wider than your popsicle stick.
- Enclose the popsicle stick between the 2 foam pieces. If you're using the sticky back foam paper you can press the foam together, with the stick in between, to the point where the stick ends ONLY. You will have a 1/2 inch left of the blue foam.
- Spread apart the 1/2 inch of the foam pieces to make a "V" shape.
- Attach that to the bottom of the egg as the puppet handle. If it's sticky back it will attach on its own. If not, use white glue or double sided tape.
- Cut out a few carrot shapes and attach to the handle to decorate :)
- To Make the Baby Chick Stick Puppet
- Tape closed the yellow plastic egg.
- Add a tuft of a yellow cotton ball to the top with glue or double sided tape.
- Use double sided tape or glue 2 googly eyes onto the chick's face.
- Cut out a triangle for his beak and glue or tape it on.
- Make 2 triangles with 3 claws each for the feet and attach those.
- Cut 2 pieces of yellow foam that are about 1/2 inch longer and slightly wider than your popsicle stick.
- Enclose the popsicle stick between the 2 foam pieces. If you're using the sticky back foam paper you can press the foam together, with the stick in between, to the point where the stick ends ONLY. You will have a 1/2 inch left of the yellow foam.

Why We Love Crafts for Kids
For Children with Special Needs
Assist your child as much as needed - but allow it to be his project. Art projects are great for fine motor exercise, and using creativity.
If your child has a limited attention span, have all supplies ready before having him begin the project.
This opportunity for hands-on learning with no wrong choices is ideal to foster self esteem as well.
Substitute any listed supplies for supplies that your child enjoys working with.
For Older Children
An older child will also enjoy this project but may want to embellish the stick a bit more or even put the puppet's name on there!
