Instructions and Contents:
Groundhog Day Craft: Brown Paper Bag Pet
Stuff a paper bag with scrap paper, fold the top down a few times, and staple it. Add pieces to create a groundhog, OR students glue to flat brown paper bag to create a puppet.
There are two choices of tags to glue to the bag of the bag. Have students make their predictions and add either a sun or a cloud. Another choice would be to have students take their pets outside and then report whether they "did" or "did not" see their shadows.
