Subject: [Puptcrit] The Magic Onion


"The Magic Onion", a hand puppet script,with patterns for all puppets and sets and props; directions for making  two different stages, rolling stools for puppeteers was published in Woman's Day in 1961. 
It was a companion piece to an earlier article on building Marionettes. After publication, the long, in-depth, articles were available as booklets which could be ordered through the magazine.

The article was the work of Bil Baird and the gifted members of his company. It has nothing to do with Henson or Sesame Street. 

There were, however, patterns published by MCalls Crafts  for Grover, Bert and Ernie,and Prairie Dawn. They are small in size and intended for children to operate. These were not in a magazine, but could be found with clothing patterns. I do not know the date of publication.

Best to all...Nick Coppola
