Friendly Beasts Puppet Ideas
A great puppet resource is
Puppets and Masks: Stagecraft and Storytelling, by Nan Rump, Davis Publications, 1996, ISBN 0-87192-298-3.
This books describes how to make puppets from basic art supplies (paper plates and construction paper) and recycled objects (empty plastic bottles, fabric scraps, ....). You can also use your imagination and adapt instructions for one sort of animal to another (i.e. make a camel using the horse or dragon suggestions).
See the two above posted scripts that could be used with puppets as well, both from dramatix:
- "Great Manger Mystery" by Justyn Walke.
- "And the Animals Talked" by Michael Humphrey.
