Paper Bag Duck Craft
Supplies

- Colored cardstock or construction paper
- Scissors
- Glue
- Duck template (enter your email in the form at the end of this post to have the link sent to you)
Directions
Download the duck template, print, and cut out the pieces you need.
Glue the duck’s head to the flap portion of the paper bag.
Take the duck’s body piece and glue it to the main portion of the brown bag.
Place the eyes in the middle of the duck’s head and glue them in place.
Spread some glue along the top half of the duck’s bill and glue it so it’s slightly overlapping the bottom of the duck’s eyes and hanging halfway off the head.
Glue the white neck strip slightly below the bottom of the bill, on the brown body.
Position the feathers just underneath the neck strip and glue it in place.
That’s it! Now let your child have fun with their new duck puppet.
Mr.s Wishy-Washy’s Farm is a classic farm animal books for kids. In this story, the animals revolt against Mrs. Wishy-Washy’s baths and leave the farm. You have to read the story to find out what crazy shenanigans the animals run into after they leave the farm!
Little Blue Truck is one of the most popular books in our house. The cool illustrations and rhyming words really make this story fun to read. And with a whole series after this one, kids love getting to know the characters more and more!
The Cow Said Neigh! is a fun and silly book about farm animals who wish they were another farm animal. Kids will enjoy the rhyming and learn that each of us (animals included) has strengths we should embrace.

Hey Sam,
I love your crafts. I have downloaded several templates over the last year but when I went to get some of the paper bag puppet templates today, none of them have the box to fill in my subscription info and no way to access the template. Did something happen to the website? I can access the instructions for the crafts, but I've tried 4 different templates today (one of which I know was there about 3 weeks ago because I used it then.) Is it just some of the crafts or is it all of them?
Thanks for all the work you put in to these projects. I've also purchased several of your ebooks because they are so convenient.

Hey John, sorry you're having problems. I haven't changed anything so I don't know why you suddenly can't see the form. Do you have an approximate date you stopped being able to see them?
