This article tells you how your students can make puppets for a class puppet show.
Steps
-
Buy a bag of popsicle sticks at the craft store. These will be enough to make many puppets.
-
Draw a face on one end of the popsicle stick. You can glue on small wiggly eyes, if you have them. Feel free to use large wiggly eyes too!
-
Add hair, arms and clothes using yarn, pipe cleaners, colored paper, and fabric scraps. A pom-pom could be used for the puppet's hair. Think of alternate things you could use items for, too-fur for hair, a small plastic cup for a skirt.
- Make several Popsicle characters and put up a mini-puppet play!
-
Glue leftover Popsicle sticks together to make a mini puppet area. Use a piece of fabric for curtains and you can put on a show anywhere.
