Tree Trunk - Cut the bottom off of a brown lunch bag. Crumble up rest of bag to give it tree trunk texture and then open it up again. Use side of an unwrapped crayon to rub crayon marks onto the bag. Fold about half of the bag inside of itself. You should now have a tube like shape.

Raccoon (See photograph above) - Fold a 9" x 12" piece of paper in half horizontally. Round off the upper two corners. Punch holes about every inch or so (through both thickness) on all but the entire bottom edge of the paper. Use yarn to lace the papers together.  Cut out head, tail and 2 pieces of mask patterns. Trace onto gray construction paper. Glue head to top of mitt, mask to face, and tail to side of mitt. Place raccoon inside of tree trunk. Attach back of raccoon to the tree trunk. Leave the front unattached so that tree trunk remains rounded. Place hand inside of raccoon and use as a puppet.
