Puppet Workshop - It's Alive!
2024-11-08 15:30 - 17:30
“It’s Alive!” (Stuffed Animal Puppets): (Grades 3 & up, 2-2.5 Hrs.)
What would happen if Dr. Frankenstein was let loose in a toy shop? Now I know what you are thinking, my child will be devastated and traumatized if we cut their favorite stuffed animal apart to create a puppet! Relax my friends, I will supply an array of cleaned, used stuffed animals to dissect. This class is a great and unique way to teach students about hand puppets. In this class each student will begin with a stuffed animal, which we will then proceed to turn into a hand puppet by opening it up, learning to pattern its mouth, and constructing & installing a mouth plate. Miraculously this will animate a formerly inanimate object, turning it from a mere toy, into a puppet. Vandy will pick students up at Epping Elementary School and walk them down. Students from other school districts should arrive by 3:35.

REGISTRATION DEADLINE EXTENDED: Register by 11:59 pm on Wednesday, November 6th.
