🧑‍🎨 Expert Tips

Choose a Sturdy Paper Bag: Start with a strong paper bag to ensure your puppet can stand up to play. The bag should be large enough to fit over your hand comfortably, creating a good base for the puppet’s body.
Use Bold, Bright Colors: Stick to Dr. Seuss's iconic color palette—red, white, black, and yellow. Use bright paints or markers to create the character’s unique features, ensuring the puppet stands out and grabs attention.
Add Fun Details: Don’t forget to add the signature Dr. Seuss details like oversized eyes, wild hair, or fun clothing. Get creative with your design by adding accessories like hats or silly patterns to make your puppet even more unique.
Opt for Easy Glueing: Use glue sticks for most of the design work, but for heavier items like googly eyes or fabric, a stronger liquid glue or hot glue gun (with adult help) will work best.
Make the Mouth Movable: Cut an extra piece of paper or fabric to create a movable mouth for your puppet. Attach it with a fold or a small piece of string, allowing it to open and close as the puppet is used in play.
Use Fabric for Texture: Add fabric pieces or felt to create textured features like clothes, hats, or shoes. This adds depth to the puppet and makes it more tactile for kids to interact with.
