Step by Step Paper Bee Puppet Instructions

Making these paper puppets doesn’t take very long at all. You can take your time over the decorating or make them quickly. Your choice.

Time needed: 10 minutes

Make the basic paper hand puppet shape
Begin by folding your A4 sheet in paper in 3 length wise. Secure with some glue.
Make the M shape of your paper puppet
With the seam of your fold on the outside, fold your paper in half. Then fold over flap. Flip and fold over the other. You will end up with a type of “M”. The point in the middle will be your mouth. The long sides of the M, fit you fingers.
Decorating the basic hand puppet as a bee
Cut out all your bee shapes. I cut out some wings, eyes and a tongue. You can also cut out black stripes or draw them on. I drew them on!
Bringing all your bee shapes together
Draw your black stripes and then glue all the bee shapes into place. With the eyes you can experiment – bring them closer together or further apart… make them look sides wise or cross eyed.. have fun!!
