 |
3. | Cut out each circus character along the dotted lines. | |

After you have enjoyed learning and playing with your circus finger puppets, you can transform them into mini paper dolls by removing the paper loop at the back and gluing an L-shaped bottom tab at the base of each circus character. You can also make an easy printable Paper Circus Tent for your little circus paper dolls. |
