DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Paper Bag Crow or Raven Craft

The raven is a great symbol for many bible stories.  The crow is great for an Autumn theme.

Both birds are found in a variety of stories, poems and songs.

Get Familiar with Your Paper Bag:

Assemble your puppet:

  • Cover the paper bag with black paper (just glue it on and trim) or paint the paper bag black and let dry.
  • Glue the feather tuft to the top of the HEAD
  • Glue the eyes onto the HEAD just under the feathers.  If you like, you can use wiggly eyes instead of the paper template pieces.
  • Glue the beak under the eyes.  It will likely hang down over a little bit of the BODY.  Make sure you just put glue on top of the beak (where it touches the HEAD) so you don't end up gluing the mouth shut.
  • Glue the wings into the FLAP.
  • Glue the feet onto the bottom of the BODY
     
  • Glue the tail onto the BACK.
