Want some easy and inexpensive fun this fall season? Take a look at these DIY pumpkin puppets, perfect for kids to act out Halloween finger plays or puppet shows. You only need a few supplies to make your own, so here is how you can get started!
Supplies needed:
- Wooden craft sticks
- Orange craft paint
- Black marker
- Green pipe cleaners
- Scissors

Directions:
