How To Make A Fun Paper Bag Monkey Puppet For Preschool

1 Comment

How to make monkey puppets out of paper bags #preschool

When planning the Letter M is for Monkey lesson for my preschool class, I was convinced I would find so much material that it would be difficult to decide what I wanted to use. Not true. It was shocking to see how much WASN’T on the internet for monkeys. Really?

Five Little Monkeys book is a beloved CLASSIC!    

So, the lack of monkey material online presented an opportunity for me to create my own. Of course, when it comes to stories, ☑️ Curious George fills the bill.

We borrowed a DVD from the library with a series of Curious George cartoons on it. We also read Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed! The library has a number of great picture books that tell about monkeys. But I still needed a craft!
