![]() Puppetry has become our hobby to such an extent that we wanted to share it with others. Our son also got very enthusiastic about puppetry: he enjoys drawing and cutting his own shadow puppets! We have even filmed a couple of them, and I chuckled over how a dream I didn’t even know I had came true – we made our own little movie! Very simple, but nevertheless, we did make the characters and wrote the script. Our performances have also grown more complex. Now, we are adding puppets to supplement myths and legends while studying history and geography. Then, we switched to open-ended sets of puppets so that they could create their own stories. When our kids were small, we started with fairy-tale puppets, enacting our favourite books. It’s fascinating, educational, and a lot of fun. It gives us a chance to try the roles of stage director, actor, screenwriter or special effects engineer. Puppetry has become just such a creative outlet for everyone in our family. I don’t really have the ambition of becoming a photographer, but I do like taking candid pictures of my kids. I don’t really want to be an actress, but I do like playing a game of charades. I think that once in a while we all want to try ourselves at a new creative enterprise. Print our puppet theatre pattern, then make a simple puppet theatre from cardboard at home! Kids will love colouring and customizing it before giving a performance with their favourite puppets. ![]()
