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.

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.
