I decided to make some Halloween puppets. This is my third one. Gather a few supplies, small plates, kwik stik, glue, and a jumbo popsicle stick and you can make a jack-o-lantern puppet kid craft. You can make a puppet for some creative Halloween play. You can see the witch and Frankenstein here.

First, cut a stem on the top of the plate. Next, draw the eyes, mouth, and nose using the black. Color the stem green and the rest of the pumpkin orange.
Use another plate and fold the two sides in. This makes the arms. Cut at the bottom fold of each arm a triangle with a curve where the hand will be. Glue arms down. Let dry. Color arms and body. Glue head to body and let dry. Then glue craft stick to the back of the body about ½ of the stick attached to the body. Let dry. Enjoy your jack-o-lantern puppet kid craft. Perfect for a Halloween theater.
