Synopsis

A kit that shows children how to create over 35 puppets using stuff from around the house - with a little help from the googly eyse, fuzzy fur and other items included. With a humorous commentary from Kermit the Frog, they explain the secrets of personality, and how to build it with the right eyes, ears, hair and clothing; how to have fun with voices and movements; and how to operate hand puppets, rod puppets and string puppets. The authors introduce their cast of characters, with instructions on how to make them, including Dixie Dragon (principle ingredient, a sock), Jughead (small plastic jar), Spidey Jones (old work glove), Metalmouth (bandage boxes) and Princess Esterrilla (wooden spoon and chopsticks). It gives tips on writing a puppet story, building different puppet stages and putting on a show.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Now you can make puppets right at home out of materials from around your house-an old work glove, empty paper-towel tubes, that meatballer in the kitchen drawer no one ever uses. With the enclosed feathers and fur to get started, it's easy to create a whole cast of sweet, scary, weird characters. Discover the secrets of eyes, become a hair expert, develop the right nose-or beak-for a face. Then learn how to walk the puppet walk and talk the puppet talk.

With tips on scripts, stages, and shows, it's a complete puppeteering guide. Just add your imagination.
