This book is wonderful to use with the kids, all the puppets and very easy to make and my six year old has made just about every puppet in the book already! The instructions are easy for him to follow and the puppets always come out great!
Summary of Puppet Mania!
In Puppet Mania!, a master of the art brings kids thirteen original projects they can make on their own, primarily using everyday household materials. Many of the projects the author includes here are for puppets he himself designed and created as a kid. There's Sock Puppy, Banana Buddy, Running Rabbit and a gaggle of other endearing creatures. Aside from explicit directions, Kennedy provides construction tips and troubleshooting advice.Puppet Mania! is more than just a project book: It also gives kids the know-how they need to turn their creations into characters--lip synching, body movements, eye contact and movement, and, most important, imagination. To that end, Kennedy kick-starts readers' creativity with a character worksheet that has room to enter the character's name, favorite phrase, hobbies, and physical characteristics.
With directions for customizing their puppets and tips for maneuvering them believably, kids will want to get started in no time!
