Family Fun Day

I had the privilege of organising a farmyard themed craft activity for our Family Fun Day at church. The children made paper bag puppets. I made some samples, which are shown below and used my Brother Scan n Cut to design and cut the shapes. Using the Scan n Cut I was able to prepare enough materials for 100 children. I don`t think I would have tackled preparing so many different animals without it.

The bottom of the bag forms the head of the animal so when you put your hand in the bag you can make the head move. I used one of the dies from Tattered Lace Tiny Tubs for the top knot. The googly eyes add to the fun elelment.

I used upside down hearts for the pigs ears. 

I used the shapes on Canvas work space to design most of the shapes. A pom- pom makes and excellent tail on the back.

The chick was one of the more popular animals with the children.

I thinks the duck was the least popular,

I thought of doing brown horses but went with the white as I could use the white bags for several characters.

Altogether we made 70 animals. There were two of us running the activity and some of the parents joined in. A few children came back to make a second puppet so I thinks they quite enjoyed the activity.
