build a mouth plate and to use this plate as a foam “skull” for a round head shape,
they will give their puppets a much greater range of motion and movement than an average
sock puppet. Students will then proceed to create their characters and build their puppets!
Epping Elementary School Students will be picked up at school and walked down to the Art Center.
Students from all school districts and homeschool students are welcome.
This is a youth workshop in the afternoon for grades 3-7
Materials = $ 20.00
