How to Make Puppets

25 Ideas for How to Make Puppets with Kids at B-InspiredMama.com

Playing with puppets is such a great way to foster imagination, creativity, and teamwork in kids.  We have a few store-bought puppets that my kids have always loved to play with.  And I’ve been wanting to get my kids a big puppet theater for years now.  So we were beyond-thrilled when we received a Floor Standing Puppet Theater from Alex Toys.  Now we want to get working on making some new puppets to use with it. Here are some fun ideas we’ve found for how to make puppets.

A Fun Puppet Theater from Alex Toys

The kids LOVE their new puppet theater. I love that it’s big and sturdy enough for both Sawyer and Priscilla to get behind it to put on their collaborative puppet shows.  Having it around really encourages them to play together and use their imaginations.  And you can have one of your own.  Alex Toys has so graciously offered a Standing Puppet Theater for one lucky B-Inspired Mama reader!   It’s easy to enter below…

    As effectively as providing a sensible patio door
    and industrial door resolution, glass and aluminium doors can
    be utilised within the home in loos and bedrooms as nicely as in the interiors
    or offices and other commercial constructions. Technology update this
    autumn is the second largest aluminium alloy door changes.
    The main issue lies in selecting the right type suiting
    the needs of the occupants.

    In this way, it would let Google know the relevance
    of your business to a specific area, especially if you.
    t know how to do local directory submissions, you can ask for
    assistance from any Australian SEO company that specializes in local SEO.
    A business with a more descriptive name and engaging tag line
    can generate more leads than business listings above it in the results list.

    It is known that stropping a blade before shaving will
    make the blade sharper and your shave closer.
    If you want to hear some fine power pop, Badfinger’s Straight Up is a great place to start.
