DIY Paper Bag Monkey Craft For Preschoolers

Today we have a DIY paper bag Monkey craft or puppet tutorial with a free downloadable template. Making this craft is super easy and fun and is a great zoo animal craft for preschool and kindergarten-aged kids.

On the day I was born I was gifted a Monkey Teddy.

I grew to love my Monkey and although I am now 36, Monkey George is a teddy which I still own. Yes, he is ragged and now lives in my daughter’s room but getting a monkey at such a young age  meant I have always loved Monkeys.

I love this Monkey Craft Idea and hope you do too!

Supplies for This Monkey Puppet

• Construction Paper
