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!
