I was going to say the same thing the poster above said.  I used to do the same thing with yarn hair and even used dark yarns to do beards, too. 

You are so right.  It is so sad that today's kids don't enjoy simple imagination play the way we did.  I guess today is the day when the SIMS is the electronic Barbie doll house and Need For Speed is Hot Wheels.

I really did not see the point in making them when I was a kid, it felt more like punishment when other kids bag puppets looks better then yours or the other person and they start laughing at it. >:(

Yes I remember making them in first and second grade and the sock puppets as well. When my daughter was in Kindergarten, we made our first paper bag puppets at home. I enjoyed it with her just as much as I did when I was young.  :)

Being a former preschool teacher  I remember paper puppets very well. I do remember making them in school. However , as a teacher we used them a alot. One of my favorite paper bag projecys withe kids was when they made Rudolph puppets. The kids would trace their hands to make the antlers . They could either draw his nose or glue on a red pom pom. They were cute!

I remember sock puppets and paper bags with faces drawn on them. I remember chains made out of colored construction paper and ash trays made from paper mache' and clay. It was so much fun making those things and being together. :)

Ha! Great blast from the past.... I love the "good old days" when things were actually made from scratch and things didn't have to be "perfect".... so frustrating! Thanks for the flash back!

Post by: demaina on May 15, 2013, 07:19:10 pm
Yeah.  Funny thing, I came across a sock puppet I had made a while back when I was cleaning out my room.  It was so weird to think that this is something you did when you were younger and yet it seemed like a life time ago to me.

Post by: lynnc35 on May 15, 2013, 11:44:25 pm
sure do, oh life was good, what happened to all the fun stuff we used to do in school and being a kid, do kids even take art anymore or classes where they can expand a creative side or just turn into a bunch of mindless following robots.
