These Unlimited Squirrels Clothespin Puppets were created in partnership with Disney Book Group.
Celebrate beloved children’s author and illustrator Mo Willems’ new series, Unlimited Squirrels, by creating a batch of easy and fun clothespin puppets!
The first book in the series, I Lost My Tooth!, features the story of Zoom Squirrel and his missing baby tooth. It’s not just the story of Zoom Squirrel’s missing tooth: the book includes bonus jokes, quirky quizzes and nutty facts to engage kids in reading!
Ready to make some Unlimited Squirrels Clothespin Puppets? Start by downloading the Unlimited Squirrels printable. Print out your squirrels on white cardstock if you want to color them in yourself. Print them out on colored cardstock if you want to skip straight to the next step.
Cut out your printed squirrels around the outer edge, then cut a straight line right through the mouth of each squirrel.
Glue both pieces to the front of a wooden clothespin, making sure each piece lines up properly. Any glue will work for this, but a glue dot runner is a great choice since it will adhere instantly and keeps the project totally kid-friendly.
The printables make it easy to create as many puppets as you like. Don’t forget to cut out the acorns and baby teeth included on the printable for extra fun!
Squeeze the ends on the clothespins to make the puppets talk.
Then get ready for unlimited fun with your Unlimited Squirrels Clothespin Puppets!
Unlimited Squirrels: I Lost My Tooth! by Mo Willems is in stores now! The book is recommended for ages 6+. This is the first in a series, so stay tuned for lots more squirrely adventure heading your way!
