10. Easter Story Paper Bag Puppets
Paper bag puppets combine crafting with storytelling and dramatic play.
Materials include small paper lunch bags, construction paper, glue, markers, yarn, and stickers. Teachers should pre cut shapes for bunny ears, chick wings, or other Easter characters.
Children decorate the flap of the bag as a face and use the bottom portion as the puppet’s body. They can add ears, beaks, yarn hair, and drawn features. Encourage children to be creative and invent their own Easter character.
This craft supports language development and imagination. After making puppets, children can use them in a small group storytelling session. Teachers can guide a simple Easter story or allow children to create their own.
Paper bag puppets are easy to store and can be reused for future play. Always supervise when using small decorative pieces. This activity brings together art, creativity, and communication, making it a perfect way to end Easter crafting in daycare.
These 10 Easter crafts offer a variety of creative, educational, and engaging activities for daycare children. With proper preparation, safe materials, and supportive guidance, teachers can create a joyful and meaningful Easter experience for every child.
