Easy DIY Puppet for Preschool Kids
DIY puppet crafts are super fun and easy to make. Today I am sharing another version of our dog puppet craft which was a huge hit last month.
This paper bag puppet idea comes with a free template which makes it super easy to create with the little ones. This is a fantastic way to teach about animals, pets, and dogs and a great way to help the kids develop fine motor skills.
Enjoy!
Why Are Fine Motor Skills Important?
Contents
Teaching kids fine motor skills is super important. Fine motor skills in a nutshell are the development and coordination of small muscles in movements.
Providing little ones with fun tasks such as arts and crafts that promote basic fine motor skills is a great way to help kids improve coordination and synchronization of the hands and fingers.
Gluing, sticking and cutting are fantastic activities for kids and a great way to help promote fine motor skills whilst having fun.
