The Most Adorable Pocket Puppets + Easy Book Assembly
Our 1st graders can’t get enough of these adorable, engaging Pocket Puppet Books. They love coloring, cutting, gluing, and then reading their books over and over using the puppet to tell the story!
The Puppet stays in the library pocket on the back of the front cover until it’s time to read.
If these pockets are unavailable, a paper clip could be used. But trust me. There’s something about putting the little puppet in the pocket that the kids just get a kick out of!
When you’re ready to read, take your puppet out of their safe pocket and use the puppets to help tell their cute stories while teaching students about positional/directional words (above, over, under, behind, etc) and following directions.
Watch the videos below to see each puppet in action!

Little Brown Squirrel TPT Review:
The kids had fun and I had fun showing them a creature which most had never seen.

This was an amazing story for my class and their individual learning goals as well as a great connector to our big questions and thematic explorations.
