This Paper Bag Puppets are nothing new, but I think this cave man and this alien are kind of special.

Materials:
Paper Lunch Bags. These happen to be the small size.
Elmer's Glue-All
Yarn
Buttons
Beads
PomPoms
Craft Sticks
Velcro fuzzy side
Orange Felt
Markers
Toilet Tissue Roll
White Correction Fluid

Time: 20-30"

Method: Cave Man
1) Begin with the face. Glue everything in place. Two buttons glued close together make eyes. One short piece of dark yarn makes the eyebrow. A pompom makes the nose.
2) The bone through the nose was made by cutting a craft stick along the grain. Glue this right under the pompom so it covers some of the stick.
3) The mouth is made with red marker, but the teeth are made of the fuzzy side of a Velcro square. It will either have to be the kind that has glue on it, or you can glue the teeth in place. I used the off-white color on the principal that the cave man had less than adequate hygiene.
4) Glue on the beads for the necklace.
5) Cut orange felt into the shape of a one-shouldered tiger or leopard skin. It should be flat at the sides and come most of the way down the front of the paper bag. Use a marker to make stripes or dots on the felt.
6) Add strands of yarn for hair.

Method: Alien
1) Begin with the hair. Cut a second paper bag into a long strip and decorate it with markers in a zigzag pattern. Use multiple colors to indicate energy radiating off the head of the alien.
2) Paint on the eye. Use blue permanent marker for the iris, black for the pupil, and white correction fluid for the white of the eye.
3) The trunk is a piece of toilet tissue roll that has been cut lengthwise. Add some strips to indicate rolls of skin.
4) Add Velcro tusks. In this case, I used white Velcro.
5) Add a piece of orange yarn coming out of the end of the trunk.
