Make a Puppet Show From the Comfort of Your Home!
Puppetry is for everyone! Making a puppet show does not have to be complicated or expensive. Using materials from around the house and/or the dollar store we will learn to make a puppet show!
Join once a week in January as we make a story, sock puppets and a puppet stage. Students will work alongside professional puppeteer Mike Harding of Applefun Puppetry.
Don't worry if your show isn't perfect; we are here to have fun and make wonderful mistakes! Prior experience is not required.
