tiny paper version of this traditional puppet.

Scissors
Crayons or markers
Glue, tape
2 wooden barbeque skewers (or 2 straws or
disposable chopsticks)

paper. |

Fold a piece
of paper in half the long way. Cut along the
fold line, making two long rectangles. |

Fold each
piece of paper up like an accordion. Glue or
tape the two pieces together, forming one long
piece that will be the animal's body. |

| Glue or tape
one end of the body to the head. Glue or tape
the other end of the body to the tail. |
