Get ready for a Thanksgiving puppet show! Ella and Annie used these adorable Thanksgiving Treat Cup Hugger Craft Kit and created three classic Thanksgiving Popsicle Stick Puppets. The girls used a few simple supplies to change these treat cup huggers into adorable popsicle stick puppets. Grab some construction paper, glue, feathers, Sharpies® and craft sticks to get you started! Then, follow along as Ella and Annie walk you through how to create these Thanksgiving Puppets for fall.
To make the Pilgrim Popsicle Stick Puppet, set aside the face, arms and pie from the treat cup kit. For this puppet, we used a 2" circle punch to cut the body of the pilgrim. We cut a white circle and cut out 1/3 of it for the collar of the pilgrim. Next, cut a small square from yellow construction paper and draw a black square in the center with a black Sharpie®. Apply yellow glitter glue to the yellow square.
Assemble the pilgrim by gluing the body to the craft stick. Attach the black circle to the white half circle. Glue the yellow buckle to the center of the pilgrim's body. Hot glue the pilgrim's outfit to the craft stick (have an adult apply the hot glue). Trim the hands and glue on both sides of the puppet. Ella and Annie wanted to add the pie too!
To make this goofy Turkey Popsicle Stick Puppet, set aside the turkey body and feet from the treat cup kit. Cut a brown circle from construction paper for the turkey's body. Start by gluing the turkey face to the craft stick. Attach the brown circle to the front of the craft stick and glue the turkey's tummy on top. Add colorful turkey feathers to the back of the puppet along with the yellow turkey feet.
To make the Indian Popsicle Stick Puppet, set aside the face, arms and corn from the treat cup kit. Glue the Indian face to the craft stick. Attach the brown 2" circle you cut out using the circle punch. Cut a red circle from construction paper using the circle punch and fold it in half. Glue the red circle to the Indian's body. Using a Sharpie® marker, draw fun designs on the clothing. Attach a feather to the headdress and glue the arms on both sides.
