Puppet 1 – Astronaut Bag Puppet
Procedure:
1. Take your Annie Astronaut template or just your paper bag and decorate it so that it can be
ready for its next mission launch!
2. Once you have colored your astronaut, use scissors to cut out the astronaut template. You
may need a little help from an adult for this one! And if you are just decorating your bag, you
can skip this step!
3. Once the Annie Astronaut is all suited up, take your glue stick and add glue to the back of the
astronaut. Now you can attach your astronaut to the paper bag.
4. Let your astronaut dry from your decorating and gluing, and in no time it’ll be ready to go!
5. Whether you decorate just your bag or use the template, once your astronaut is ready you can
use it in your next puppet show!
What was your thought process for designing and decorating your astronaut?
