A hopping bunny.

Step by Step Instructions
While each printed sheet comes with simplified instructions, here is also a step-by-step tutorial detailing each step of how to assemble these puppets.
If you printed the black and white version, have the kids color in the puppets first.
Cut out the puppet. Your kids can either cut along the looser dashed line along each puppet (perfect for younger kids) or cut out all the details.
Don’t forget to cut two paper strips, they are super important.
Take the body of the puppet and fold it along the three lines (one on top of the mouth, one at the middle, and one at the bottom).
Run your fingers across the folds.
Make sure the folds are nice and crisp.
Bring the top part of the mouth to the bottom part of the mouth. Press down.
This is how your puppet should be looking now.
The pig puppet comes with the snout, stick the snout on the top part of the head.
Take the two paper strips. Fold along the dashed lines. Apply glue to the designated area.
This is how it should look now.
Stick the paper strips on the back of the puppet.
All done! Now continue making other printable farm animal finger puppets.
