If you’re looking for a cute winter craft that’s easy to prep and fun to assemble, this Paper Bag Moose Craft is such a sweet one to try. It uses simple supplies, comes together quickly, and has just the right mix of cutting, gluing, and decorating to keep kids engaged without it feeling overwhelming.

This is one of those crafts that works great for winter afternoons at home or a woodland animal theme in your classroom. Kids love giving their moose a personality with the silly googly eyes, and the paper bag base allows kids to even take their finished craft into imaginative playtime as a silly moose puppet.

How To Make a Paper Bag Moose

Step 1: Design the Scarf

Cut out the template pieces using the matching colored cardstock—for example, dark brown for the antlers and snout, and black for the nose pieces.
Cut two rectangular pieces of paper for the scarf. Use a black Sharpie to draw simple patterns and line designs on both pieces. Cut a few slits along the bottom edge of both rectangles to create fringe.

Step 2: Creating the Face

Glue the black nose pieces onto the brown snout, then attach the snout to the bottom of your paper bag. If you plan to use this as a puppet, be sure to place it on the side of the bag that opens and closes properly.
