Peek-a-Boo Puppet for Kids

A few days ago I made this little Peek-a-boo Puppet to help teach the children at church. This could be used at school or home as well. It was super easy to make in one afternoon. And this puppet is double-sided. A peekaboo puppet hides in the container and moves up and down as needed. The puppet is shy and won’t come out when the children are noisy or misbehaving or not singing (if used for music practice). As the children start to listen and do what you want them to, then you slowly move the puppet up and eventually all the way out. This works very well for children ages 2-8 yrs old
Kids love how this puppet goes up and down.
You'll need a container to reuse. Paper to cover the container (or paint), and a wooden skewer stick. As for the puppet, you can use a small stuffed animal that fits in the container or a paper printable as I did.
Find a sturdy container to reuse. Plastic works well. Cylinders are great. Cover with paper or paint as needed.
Poke a hole int the bottom of the container.
Tape the puppet onto the skewer and secure it. You can make a paper puppet double sided if you want. Stick the wooden skewer through the hole.
