A short time ago I shared with you a simple Chewbacca paper bag puppet. Today I have a Yoda puppet to share with you. It looks a little complicated, but it really isn’t.
Let me walk you through how to make this Star Wars craft.
Craft Supplies Needed:
- Three brown paper lunch bags
- Green paint
- Plastic fork
- White, brown and black construction paper
- Silver corrugated paper
- Scissors
- Glue stick
Directions
Use a plastic fork to paint the front of one of the lunch bags and the back of the other bag.
Cut a piece of brown construction paper to fit the front of the paper bag. It needs to fit under the flap and reach all the way to the bottom of the bag.
Cut out Yoda’s brown cloak out of the front of your unpainted bag and the front that was left unpainted on your second paper bag.
Cut out a long rectangular strip from brown construction paper for Yoda’s belt.
Glue the cloak pieces to the brown construction paper rectangle.
Wrap the belt around the paper bag and glue it in place in the front of the bag.
Cut Yoda’s ears, nose, lower eyelids, and lightsaber out of the second paper bags back. Yoda’s nose and two mouth section are just about the same. You could cut them out at the same time.
Cut two white circles out of construction paper for the back section of Yoda’s eyes. They cut out the black front area of his eyes. Simple black circles could be cut out instead of the fancy ones I made.
Glue all the facial features in place. We moved them around a lot before we glued ours in place.
Finally, construct Yoda’s lightsaber. We glued black strips of paper to the front of a long silver rectangle. Then we attached the green lightsaber light to the back of the silver rectangle.
Viola! Our Star Wars craft was completed!
If you would like, you could have your Yoda puppet read one of the following books:

This is such a great Star Wars craft! I love Yoda and his wise ways. This would be a fun way to get children excited about the new Star Wars, even if they weren’t old enough to go.
I am thrilled that you like it!
