this kit until The Littlest Apple got home from the hospital, but honestly, I wish I had brought this kit TO the hospital with us, because by the time The Littlest Apple was released from the hospital, he was too full of energy to sit still for much of anything.\u00c2\u00a0 When my sister in law came to visit last week, we broke out the puppet kit and got crafty.\u00c2\u00a0 The Littlest Apple lasted all of 5 minutes, mostly interested in smelling the glue stick (which DID smell nice!) and using the glue stick on anything and everything.\u00c2\u00a0 But my sister in law and I REALLY had fun with this kit!\u00c2\u00a0 Admittedly, these aren&#8217;t open-ended projects, but they are so much fun to put together, and all of those stickers are addictive!\u00c2\u00a0 The paper bag puppets are so bright and colorful, and The Littlest Apple has enjoyed playing with them (now that we&#8217;ve done all of the work!).<\/p>\n<p>We still have the cow to make, but we completed the elephant, bird, frog and lion.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepickyapple.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Paper-Bag-Puppets-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
