Puppet school


Just finished a session of puppet making with some special needs children. The simplicity of the mop and clothes line puppet and the paper plate frog were just the job. The kids were very into riping the fabric so we did that rather than cutting it and secured it with ribbon ties and elastic bands. Some of the puppets have a quaint kind of Jane Austin feel about them.



I'm deeply suspicious of the guy in the black PVC mac.

strongly suspect he had something to do with that plague of frogs.

Great puppets Sally. I know it's a Bible story, but it would make a wonderful children's book. Those character are alive. If the TV people got hold of these you would make your fortune.
