We absolutely fell in love with our stuffed paper bag sea otter craft we made recently, and so we just had to make another sea otter craft,  this cute and easy sea otter paper bag puppet. This sea life project is a quick one, you’ll just need a few supplies. And kids can use their finished puppets to put on a puppet show, use it to share what they’ve learned about sea otters, or use their completed sea otter puppets to retell a story like Together– Emma Dodd’s Love You Books. (This one is super cute!)

You can also print your sea otter onto white cardstock or white art paper. (You’ll just have to trim the art paper to 8 1/2 x 11 inches to print.)

Either color your sea otter with crayons, colored pencils, or markers, or you can paint it with watercolors.
