Paper bag puppets or Popsicle stick puppets are always fairly easy to make with young children as well. Whichever you plan to do with your child, it will make the process much easier if you already have the template pieces cut out for them (unless they’re old enough that cutting is not an issue anymore). That way all they have to do is color them, glue them to the bag or stick and they’re ready to play with. They don’t take a ton of time to do and it’s a good way to get the kids involved with the story you’re reading.
