Let’s go step by step to complete this fun craft project!

This is not a math or logic problem — it’s a hands-on art and craft activity. You’re making stick puppets for a family: dad, mom, girl, boy, and baby.

Here’s what you need to do:

Step 1: Color the shapes (Page 1)
- Look at Page 1. There are 5 sets of shapes labeled: dad, mom, girl, boy, baby.
- Each set has simple geometric shapes that will become the body parts of your puppet.
- Dad = circle (head) + rectangle (body)
- Mom = circle (head) + square (chest) + trapezoid (skirt)
- Girl = circle (head) + triangle (dress)
- Boy = circle (head) + rectangle (body)
- Baby = circle (head) + oval (body)
- Use crayons, markers, or colored pencils to color each shape however you like! Maybe give them shirts, dresses, or patterns.

Step 2: Cut out the shapes
- Carefully cut along the dotted lines around each shape. Don’t forget to cut out the labels too if you want to keep track.

Step 3: Glue onto craft sticks
- Get some popsicle sticks or craft sticks.
- Glue each shaped piece onto a stick so it stands up like a puppet. Put the head on top, then the body below it. Make sure they’re lined up nicely!

Step 4: Choose hairstyles (Page 2)
- Now look at Page 2. There are many different haircuts to choose from.
- For “dad” → pick one of the short or curly styles under “dad”
- For “mom” → pick one of the long or bob styles under “mom”
- For “girl” → pick one of the ponytail or pigtails under “girl”
- For “boy and baby” → pick any of the three small styles at the bottom
- Cut out the hairstyle you like best for each puppet.

Step 5: Glue hairstyles on heads
- Glue the chosen hairstyle right on top of each puppet’s head (the circle part).
- Then, draw a face on each head — eyes, nose, mouth, maybe even eyebrows or cheeks!

Step 6: Play with your puppets!
- Once everything is dry, you can hold the sticks and make your family talk, dance, or act out stories.

You did it! You’ve made your own family stick puppets.

Final Answer:
Color, cut, and glue the shapes from Page 1 onto craft sticks. Then choose, cut, and glue matching hairstyles from Page 2 onto each puppet’s head. Draw faces on all puppets. Your family stick puppets are ready to play!
