Dear Readers,
National Read Across America day is today! We decided to celebrate it by putting on a puppet play, but first we needed to have the puppets.
Puppets are easy enough to make. All we did was cut a gingerbread man outline out and then customize them. Once the customization was done we glued them onto the giant popsicle sticks. And there you have it, we had puppets ready for our play.
The play we chose was the 3 little pigs and the big bad wolf. The girls loved making the puppets and had varying amounts of help.
With the puppets done the kids were able to put on the play. They enjoyed telling the story over and over and over again. They put on the play multiple times for us because they had so much fun doing it.
If you have kids like mine, you’ll need to be prepared to sit through multiple renditions. But on the bright side you won’t have to do much for it.
