PROCEDURE: 1. Reproduce the cow patterns under Bag Puppet Patterns below. Paste onto oaktag (manila) and cut out. To make a pattern for the mouth, cut a 6" paper plate in half. |
|
|
2. Have each student trace the head and mouth patterns onto brown construction paper and cut them out. Then trace the paper plate half onto white construction paper and cut out. Have students trim about 1/4' from the curve of the white half circle. |
|
|
3. Students will trace the eye pattern two times onto white paper and cut out. |
|
|
4. Have students trace the ear pattern two times and the tongue pattern once onto red construction paper and cut out. |
|
|
5. Give each student a brown or white paper lunch bag. Students will paste the cow's face onto the bottom of the bag, as shown in the illustration. Then paste on the cow's eyes and ears. |
|
|
6. Ask students to align the straight edges of the white and brown half circles and paste them together. This is the mouth. Then have students paste the mouth under the flap of the bag so that it overlaps with the cow's face when the flap is closed. |
|
|
7. Students will paste the tongue onto the mouth, as shown. |
|
|
8. With a black marker, have students draw eyelashes, a nose, and a smile on Deliah's face. |
|
|
9. Use the puppet to tell what you have learned about cows, milk, butter, or dairy farming. |
