An EASY Puppet Craft Inspired by The Muppets!
My kids are HUGE fans of The Muppets! And they’re not the only ones. Cliff and I find all of the Muppet movies nostalgic and hilarious, too. So the new Muppets Most Wanted was perfect for our last family movie night. So many fun new cameos (hello… Tina Fey!!), silly singable songs, and those familiar and crazy puppets. We loved it so much we were inspired to make our own silly puppets, too. Check out our super simple Muppet-Inspired puppet craft…
Our Muppet-Inspired Envelope Puppet Craft
Supplies:
- paper envelope
- glue stick and/or school glue
- construction paper and/or sticky notes
- googly eyes
- pipe cleaners
- scissors
- sturdy tape
- markers and/or crayons
Steps:
- Moisten and close the flap on the envelope.
- Fold the envelope in half (flap side inside the fold).
- Use the scissors to cut about an inch into each side of the fold. Theen slide your scissors into the hole you just made and cut along the fold on ONE SIDE of the envelope. Now you should be able to slip your fingers into the envelope above the fold and your thumb into the envelope below the fold. Get it?
- Reinforce the fold in the envelop with sturdy tape.
- Decorate with paper, eyes, pipe cleaners, markers, and more!

More details about the crazy plot:
There’s plenty of fun for the whole family as Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Animal and the entire Muppets gang head out on a world tour. But mayhem follows the Muppets, as they find themselves unwittingly entangled in an international crime caper. Now Kermit is behind bars at the mercy of prison warden Nadya (Tina Fey), and the World’s Number One Criminal, Constantine—a dead ringer for Kermit—has taken his place. Will Constantine get away with his nefarious scheme? Will Kermit escape in time to save the day?
It will surely have the whole family giggling and having fun. And maybe inspire a fun puppetcraft, too?!
