Create lively and expressive puppets with simple and inexpensive materials. This book tells you how. There are instructions and patterns to make finger puppets, glove puppets, rod puppets, shadow puppets, and string puppets. Some of the easy to find materials used are plastic bottles, old socks, newspaper and cardboard. The characters made in this book are: mice, milkshakes, hamburgers, rock singer, clow and king. Once you've mastered the basics, you'll see how adaptive the instructions are to make your own characters. This book also has ideas for making simple puppet stages and tips on puppetry. It's a great resource for Sunday School teachers and groups of young children eager to make and use puppets.
