Puppet Show

For a few days, Caleb has been asking me for boxes ... WHY Caleb? I would ask.. and he would answer: To make a Puppet Show. 

Well, we had NO boxes.

So I searched Pinterest... my FAVORITE website of all time!

And I found some great ideas, and decided to go with a super easy one, of using a tri-fold presentation board.

Here is the result...


He insisted on their being a "curtain"


And we had to have a name for the Puppet Show


He brought in his little chairs and arranged a place for the audience to sit


He made all his own puppets - they are all Veggie Tales Characters.

I put felt "pockets" in the back for storage for the puppets



His stuffed animals got their own show as well.

I have one VERY happy little boy.  $3 for the tri fold board, scrap fabric and felt from home, one glue gun burn on my thumb.... and LOTS of love from my sweet son.

I am sure you want to be a part of the audience as well.. so here is a video clip of his first performance!  Enjoy!!!
