This is an idea I saw posted on a really sweet blog called
Red Bird Crafts, and it was easy and fun to put together...
I had prepped two pieces of cardboard (from cereal-type boxes) for the scenery by drawing a horizon line and cutting it out with an exacto knife, leaving an inch or so on either side. I left them blank for the girls to decorate with a landscape - Ani did water and clouds, Eliza did a very colorful sunset...
The puppets I made from cutting interesting images out of a couple of art book catalogues I had, and decoupaging them onto cardboard and glueing them to popsicle sticks.
Perfect activity for a long road trip, these will also be fun to make again when we get home and the girls can create their own images!

This is a GREAT idea! Why didn't I read it before I went on our most recent trip!? Next time... I'll start making them now though. I bet you can't have too many puppets.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea! I came over from Red Bird Crafts and I love your testimony! I recently wrote a post on Finger Puppets because my kids love to dramatize stories too!I can't wait to share this idea with them and see what they come up with.
