Hey Mathieu;
    Great job with the rod puppet, aren't Noodles wonderful? We have been 
using them for some of our school workshops for about 2 years and I am 
always amazed what people can make with them. I particularly liked the way 
you had a separate rod for the head, very interesting. Have you done this 
yet with kids, and if so how did it go? Also how long was your workshop?
    Again great job.
