St. Patrick's Day Leperchaun Popsicle Stick Puppet

Supplies Needed:

• 2 Popsicle Sticks
• White Glue
• Green, White, Orange, Black and Yellow Construction Paper (or foam paper)
• Crayon
• Scissors
• Newspaper To Keep The Work Area Clean

     Cut out a hat shape from the green construction paper.

Cut a strip from the black construction paper to embellish the hat like a belt.

Cut out a yellow square to be the buckle on the hat.

Cut out an oval from the white construction paper (for the face).

Cut out a beard shape from the orange construction paper. This is basically a U shape for the part that goes onto the face and the bottom and sides are curved to give the appearance of a curly, full beard.

Cut a "hair piece" from the orange paper that will peek out from under the hat.

Glue 2 sticks together. To dry let them sit on a bowl where each end rests on the lip of the bowl.

Use glue to put together the hat (hat, black belt, belt buckle) and the face (face, hair, beard).

Glue Hat to head.

Draw face on the leprechaun using a crayon.

When sticks are dry glue them to the back of your leprechaun.

Let dry completely.

ENJOY! You're done!
