3. Popsicle Stick Puppets

Why It’s Perfect for Preschoolers:
Puppet-making encourages imagination and story-telling skills, essential for language development.

Supplies Needed:

  • Popsicle sticks
  • Felt or colored paper
  • Googly eyes
  • Markers and glue

How to Make:

  1. Cut out simple character shapes (animals, people, or cartoon figures).
  2. Decorate with eyes, hair, and clothes using felt or paper.
  3. Glue the character to a popsicle stick.

Bonus Idea: Use them for a mini puppet show to improve communication skills.
