Below, you can print out your very own Melvin or Muffin face!

You can color one or both faces and make their bodies by drawing on paper or creating a puppet.
 

  • Think about adding a tail and legs with paws.

  • You might want to use cotton, construction paper, googly eyes, felt, or other materials to bring texture and dimension to your Melvin or Muffin character or puppet.

  • One idea is to tape or glue the Melvin or Muffin print out that you color to a paper plate to make the face sturdier.

  • Use your character to make a poster.

You can do puppet shows by either reading the book...or by making up your own stories about Melvin and Muffin!

Sock Puppets

Ask a grown up for a sock that you can use. Glue your Melvin or Muffin face print out onto the sock for a fun sock puppet.

Paper Bag Puppets

Reuse and repurpose a paper lunch bag or larger grocery bag by taping or gluing a Melvin or Muffin face print out to it for a paper bag puppet.

Stick Puppets

Use a craft stick, tongue depressor, or rod and attach it to the back of your Melvin or Muffin face print out, after you color it, to make a stick puppet.
 

Enjoy!
