Mr. Happy and Mr. Sad Clown

Create a paper plate clown puppet with two faces- a happy face and a sad face.

Materials Needed

Always let your child use child-safe scissors.
Keep the glue gun out of children's reach.
Watch out for this sign . It means you need an adult's help for the particular step.

	1.	To make the puppet's handle, obtain a large craft stick or glue two small craft sticks end-to-end.
	2.	Paint the lower half of the handle.
	3.	You may finger paint some dots or stripes if you like.
	4.	Prepare two small paper plates to make the clown faces. Draw a happy faced clown on one plate and a sad faced clown on the other plate. Don't draw any noses yet.
	5.	Glue a pompom on each clown face to make a funny nose.
	6.	Cut strips of crepe paper and crumple each strip into a ball.
	7.	Create hair for the clowns by gluing the crepe paper balls along the top of each paper plate face.
	8.	Use glue gun or white glue to attach the handle at the back of one clown face.
	9.	Apply glue on the other side of the handle and position the other clown face in place. Remember to align the two clown faces along the edges.
	10.	Let the glue dry before using your happy/sad clown puppet.
