How to Make  Dinosaur Clothespin Puppets

What you need:

Step by Step Instructions

Print out our dinosaur puppet template. We recommend printing on heavier print paper for more durability.

Tip: Once you cut out the puppets, you can also laminate the puppet parts to make it last even longer!

These puppets come both in black and white as well as pre-colored designs.

If your kids will be making the black and white ones, we do recommend they color the puppets before they move onto cutting.

Cut out the puppet outline.

Also cut along the mouth line (it’s marked on the puppet), to separate the top part of the puppet from the bottom one.

Apply glue on the gripping part of the clothespin.

If you are using wooden clothespins, a regular stick glue or school glue will do. If however you are using plastic clothespins, a glue gun (operated by adults) will be needed or glue dots.

Stick the top part of the dinosaur puppet on the top part of the gripping area, and the bottom part with the body on the bottom part of the clothespin’s gripping area.

Make sure the top part of the design is aligned with the bottom one.

All done! Your dinosaur puppets are ready for play!
