Making Puppets in the classroom….

The thought of sewing enough puppet skins for twenty four children could sound daunting.  On this occasion I managed to get four parents to help sew the puppet skins.  These puppets were made a few years back and used in a class movie called 'The Fuppets - Return of the Nits.'

I decided to put together a slide share to show how I went about making these puppets.  We decided in class to call them the Fuppets.

Puppet skins….

Children stuffed their puppet's hands and arms, they decided what color their mouth plate would be...

Then it was time to pick what sort of eyes they wanted for their puppet.

Then time to look at what their eyes, nose and hair would look like when all put together….
