Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] Advice for Puppetmaking with Children


Yes,

Mathieu is right, Big Uglies are great for using with Kids.
You can make the feet with Cardboard and Open Backs so the
kids can slip their feet into them for walking the character
and then you can have one kid on head and feet and two others
on the Arms.

You can cut hands out of Cardboard and attach Tongue depressers
to the wrist on an angle for arm manipulation.  The puppets won't
last forever, but the kids will learn a style they can repeat on
their own, and the teachers will have a new teaching tool after
you leave.

Best,
Liz
