Paper Bag Koala Puppet

Build a koala puppet with rounded ears and a fluffy-looking paper collar for animal stories and pretend play.

What you’ll need

A small paper lunch bag, paper, scissors, craft glue, a pencil, and a black marker. Use colored craft paper or color the template pieces yourself.

Your printable

This PDF includes 2 pages. Select the pages you need in your printer settings.

How to use your printable

1. Print the template and trace the pieces onto gray, white, and pink paper, or color the printed shapes.

2. Assemble the ears and head. Add the nose, eyes, and cheeks, then draw a mouth.

3. Prepare a paper cover for the bag front with the fur collar and legs. Glue it onto the bag and attach the head to the folded bottom flap.

A little extra fun

Make sure the head moves with the flap rather than gluing the flap shut.

Printing tips

Print a test copy and check the pieces against your paper bag before preparing a group set. Leave the bag flap and opening free of glue. An adult can help with smaller pieces and scissors.
