Fabulous Free Printable Puppets for Kids

Posted on June 14, 2019 30 Comments

We love a good puppet show at our house, as well as a good sing along! And there is nothing better to inspire puppet shows and singing then some easy to make free printable puppets!

Free printable puppets - loads of different printable puppets to go with songs and stories and just for fun!

Puppets can help kids act out a situation that is bothering them, or deal with a fear. They are a fabulous starting point for loads of creative, imaginative play and can be used in so many different ways. Puppets can inspire learning, and help us parents be less self conscious when it comes to singing with our kids.

I love making puppets to go with songs, or stories, or just for fun.

Free Printable Puppets.

All of the our free printable puppets are A4 sized pdf files, so you will need a pdf reader such as Adobe Acrobat to open them. If you are printing on US ‘letter sized’ paper be sure to select ‘fit’ or ‘shrink to fit’ from your printer options.

Please remember that the printables at picklebums.com are for personal use only, you may not sell, share, or link directly to these files.

All of these printable puppets are free to download, just click on the links above to visit the post and download the pdf. Then all you need to do is download, print, cut and play!

I use a regular family inkjet printer to print the puppets. I print onto matte photo paper, but you could also use light cardstock, or regular printer paper and laminate the puppets after you have cut them out. I tape each puppet to a coloured craft stick for easy use.

    My daughter loves the “Hey diddle diddle” nurser rhymes, with the cow and moon puppets, it can be acted like jump over, jump on top, jump beside, jump under, jump through….great for supporting language development.

    Hi Kate,

    Thank you for sharing these. My two year old can’t be any happier and the younger kid in me was so happy doing the cut outs.
