Paper Crafts Are Awesome For Kids!
As with most paper crafts, as long as you have paper, glue and some markers, you are ready to create! This Three Little Pigs Story Puppet craft looks like it might be complicated to make, but it really isn’t thanks to the free included template. While younger kids will need help with the intricate cutting this project entails, they will love helping to assemble the puppets. Older kids will enjoy adding extra details to make their puppets unique.
Fun Storybook Craft
This storybook craft is perfect to make with the kids on a rainy day, or it is a really fun addition to a classroom story time setting. The kids will love having the three little pigs and the big bad wolf puppets for re-enacting the book. Plus, the puppets are awesome for encouraging dramatic play in kids. Don’t be surprised if these characters make a cross over appearance with some other favourite toys!

How to make the Three Little Pigs Puppets
- Step 1: Select different coloured craft papers for the 3 little pigs and fox paper craft puppets. I’m using pink for the pigs and brown for the fox. Select more colours for the other patterns of the puppets. Trace the template patterns on the selected craft papers and cut them out nicely.
- Step 2: Take the pig pattern cutouts and stick the oval shaped papers in the middle of the head parts of the pig base cutouts.
- Step 3: Stick the swirly tail cutouts on a side, near the bottom side of the pig base. Stick the bow patterns below the head parts.
- Step 4: Use a black sharpie to draw the eyes, nose, and mouth of the pig paper-crafts.
- Step 5: Grab the fox puppet patterns. Stick the oval shaped paper in the middle of the body base cut out of the fox.
- Step 6: Stick the tail on a side and stick the head on the top side of the body base. Use a sharpie to draw the eyes, nose, mouth and the tip of the tail.
- Step 7: Stick the pig and fox paper-crafts on popsicle sticks to complete the puppet crafts.
