Easy Paper Bag Lamb Puppet Craft to Pair with Pray With Me: A Child’s Guide to Prayer
I love taking a story beyond the pages of a book. When children create, imagine, and build something connected to a story, they have the opportunity to revisit the characters, explore the message, and make meaningful memories along the way.
This simple Paper bag puppet is the perfect companion activity for Pray With ME: A Child’s Guide to Prayer. With just a few simple supplies, children can create their very own lamb puppet.
Whether you are reading at home, adding it to a unit study, or looking for a fun group activity, this lamb puppet is sure to bring smiles!
About Pray With Me: A Child’s Guide to Prayer

Through simple words and relatable examples, children learn that they can talk to God anytime, anywhere. This paper bag lamb craft is a fun, hands-on way to reinforce the story, spark conversations about prayer, and give little ones a creative reminder that the Good Shepherd is always listening.
