This book contains instructions for making just about every imaginable type of puppet: cloth hand puppets, finger puppets, glove puppets, paper bag puppets, cup puppets, stick puppets. . . It has patterns for making a story apron, including instructions for creating scenery on the apron. It also has suggestions for puppets to go with specific children's books, poems, or songs. There are puppet making activities for children that are appropriate throughout the elementary years. It's full of photographs and amusing illustrations.
This book is a great resource for anyone who works with young children and wants to introduce puppetry into the classroom.Super ideas! Pictures and graphics add a lot. I had the privilege of studying with Tamara Hunt and she is incredible.
A must have. Great resource of ideas. Easy to follow. A definite add on to a teachers resource of books.
