Let’s make some Great Artists Paper Dolls
This set of 10 Artists Paper Puppets includes
10 Fun Famous Artists Coloring Pages and Split Pin Puppets.
These are simple color, cut and assemble puppets (no strings at the back for simplicity) to complement any “famous artists lesson plans”. The set includes:
- Frida Kahlo
- Yayoi Kusama
- Georgia O’Keeffe
- Claude Monet
- Andy Warhol
- Pablo Picasso
- Keith Haring
- Paul Klee
- Gustav Klimt
- Henri Matisse
A great lesson plan filler – that only requries paper and some split pins. A fun way to add an paper doll activity to the end of a Great Artist study unit.
To make these Famous Artists Paper Puppets you will need:
Please note, these are not articulated paper puppets – just simple split pin dolls, for easy assembly in a classroom environment!
- Printer paper or light card is great
- The printables (see below)
- Split pins
- Maybe something pointy for the holes (a needle – adults only)
- Scissors
- Coloring Pens and pencils
The full set is available on my Teacher’s Pay Teacher’s Store! Or get the full color freebies (Kusama and Kahlo).
How to make your artist split pin dolls
The assembly of these paper dolls, really is very simple:
- Take your time coloring in your paper doll coloring pages. You can use whatever medium you want, but we love combining coloring pencils with felt tip pens, to make different parts of your coloring pop!
- Carefully cut out all the pieces. You don’t have to be too precise around the details – the dolls will still look great even if they have a simple white outline.
- Make a small hole into the arm parts of the paper dolls (and legs for some of the dolls). Grown ups using a needle are probably best for this!
- Finally, you can connect the loose limbs with the main body by using your split pins.
Have fun with your Artist Paper dolls! Aren’t these fun? They are a great take home activity. But would also look great on a classroom bulletin board.. or maybe even turned into an “artist garland”. So fun!
