Puppets

Puppets have been big here for the past month or so.  It started with a download I did of farm cut outs that I glued to popsicle sticks.  I was pondering what to do for a puppet stage and scoured about looking for an appropriate cardboard box, but I came across a small ready made one on Amazon cheap, so purchased that and will continue to ponder a larger handmade one.

This set came with wooden spoon puppets that you assemble.  They turned out pretty well and are pretty durable too. 

 

Also came with "props"  that Amelia loves putting them in pre-made slots and taking them back out.

We get Family Fun magazine which has some great craft ideas including an owl puppet made from a toilet paper roll, cupcake liners, glue, tape and white and orange cardstock.  They can fly around the house too.

We have dug out or Cow "Moo Moo" puppet and Zoe from Sesame Street too and have been playing with them endlessly.  Hmmm...will have to get a picture of that as I don't seem to have one to post.  Oh well.

Have a great rest of the week!  Happy puppetry!
