These Dotty the Donkey colour in stick puppets are great for children to make & take on an Easter Adventure. Whether you use them alongside our Dotty the Donkey Easter Trail, or simply make at home, they offer a wonderful opportunity for kids to retell & explore the Easter Story.

Our Dotty the Donkey Trail takes children on an interactive journey through Holy Week, enabling them to discover key events along the way. These stick puppets would be a fun activity to create after they've discovered the trail, so they can take their own Dotty the Donkey home with them.

All you need are children's scissors, sticky tape, lolly sticks, & colouring pens/pencils. Each printable sheet has 8 donkey templates that can be cut out ready for children to use.
