Find out how to make some fantastic Kasper finger puppets!
Kaspar template
Kasper is a traditional puppet in Germany. He appears in puppet plays and books and is similar to Mr. Punch.
Why not make two finger puppets and perform a German puppet play with them?
You will need:
- Scissors
- Glue
- Lots of colouring pencils
- The printed template (see below)
You can colour in Mr. Punch and Kaspar, and decide what your puppets look like!
Before you start, make sure you get an adult to help you!
Step 1
Colour in the figures
First of all, print out the template and colour in the body parts of your finger puppets.
Step 2
Cut out the figures
Then cut out the template.
Step 3
Fold the body
Now fold the finger puppet's body along the long straight line, so there are two sides: a back-side and a front-side.
Step 4
Fold the white strip
There is also a long white strip on the side of the finger puppet. Fold it back and put some glue on it.
Step 5
Glue on the head
With the glue on the white line you can now glue the front and the back together. Watch out, as you still have to be able to fit your finger inside the puppet!
Step 6
Put it all together
Now glue the head and arms to the finger puppet's body and wait until the glue has dried.
Step 7
... and your finger puppet is ready!
Your finger puppet is ready! Why not perform a play with it?
