Step 1

Print out the templates and glue them onto a piece of card, then cut them out.

Step 3

Use a pin to make holes in the limbs and body pieces, about 5mm from the edge of the card. Place a piece of BluTack behind the card to allow you to push the pin through easily. Attach the different parts of the puppets together using paper fasteners.
