Take your kids on a storytelling adventure with this Printable Jungle and Grassland Scene and Puppets Set! Featuring a 2D backdrop of trees and landscapes along with playful animal puppets like parrots, tigers, and more, this activity brings the wonders of the wild straight into your classroom, homeschool, or playroom.
Children can cut, color, and assemble their animal puppets, then use them for interactive play. Puppets can stand on their own or be attached to popsicle sticks for even more imaginative fun. From roaring lions to chirping parrots, kids will love acting out adventures, inventing new stories, and exploring animal behaviors.
To extend the activity, the set includes writing sheets and graphic organizers, encouraging children to retell stories, sequence events, or write their own animal-themed adventures. This makes it not just a craft, but also a literacy-rich activity that blends art, play, and learning.
