Black Panther Paper Puppet with Six Cut-Out Pieces

Six separate pieces are laid out on the page for a paper puppet of Black Panther. In the middle is the torso with the head attached, showing the cat-eared cowl, narrow white eyes, a mustache and chin, a necklace of pointed claw shapes with an oval pendant, and detailed stomach muscles. Small circles on the shoulders and near the waist mark where the joints would connect. Two arms sit at the top, each with a claw-style wristband and a clenched fist. Two long legs fill the bottom, with rounded thighs, calves, and a small lightning-style mark on each foot. Print it on card stock, color the suit in black, silver, and deep purple, then cut the pieces out and join them with brass paper fasteners through the circles so the puppet can move. It works well for a rainy afternoon craft or a classroom retelling activity.
