We’re to the point in the seasonal transition where there has been enough warm days that our kids know what they’re missing outdoors and are none too happy when the weather turns cold again. It seems to alternate cold to warm every other day the last couple weeks, so we’ve had to be ready with exciting and fresh things to do inside. On today’s blustery agenda: Monster Clothespin Puppets!
Here’s what you’ll need:
Take your favorite bright color scrap paper and cut circles (we use this 1-Inch Circle Punch like crazy!)
Then cut the circles in half, gluing each half to one prong of the clothespin creating the Pac-Man style mouth.
Then you can add hats, teeth, eyeballs and funky hair to create your monsters. Ours are definitely party monsters, we couldn’t help it! Then let them dry completely and you’ll be ready to play!

March 24, 2015 at 1:39 am[…] En la imagen principal vemos una idea muy sencilla que me ha gustado mucho: unas marionetas de pinzas, que se hacen con cartulinas de colores. Simplemente cortamos un círculo de cartulina grande, lo cortamos a la mitad y pegamos cada una sobre un lado de la pinza, de manera que lo que sería la boca se pueda abrir y cerrar. Luego decoramos cada monstruito con cartulinas de colores, para hacerles ojos, dientes, gorros, etc. (Fuente: Small Fry Blog) […]
