- Drill two “arm holes” in the sides of the Push Pop tube.
- Insert a straw into the hole at the bottom of the tube, and then insert a straw into each arm hole.

- Trim the arm straws to the proper length.
- Cut out a pair of hands from the printout sheet, and tape them to the ends of the arms.
- Pop the cap back onto the Push Pop tube, and your Pushy Puppet is ready. Pushing the bottom straw up and down will make Pushy’s arms move!
