These simple push and pull puppets are a Halloween version of the animal puppets we made earlier this year. They are great for part of a forces topic and a simple science craft for any time of year.
Pushes and pulls are examples of forces. They can make objects move, stop them moving, speed them up, slow them down or change their shape.
Spooky Halloween Puppets
You’ll need
Paper straws
Sellotape
Paper
Scissors
Pens
Instructions
Tape the three straws at the bottom and in the middle.
Bend the outer straws to the side.
Use a pencil to make a hole in the top of a paper cup and one on each side about halfway up the cup.
Carefully feed the straws through the holes so the middle straw goes through the top of the cup.
Use my handy template, or add your spooky hands and a head.
Pull the straws down and push them up to make the hands and head of the puppet move.
