Community Arts – Shadow Puppets

September 24th Shadow Puppets

A shadow puppet is a two-dimensional puppet cut out from a flat material.  We will be creating our shadow puppets out of heavy paper stock and articulate the limbs with small brads.

For the younger artist we will have templates of animals and birds that can be traced onto card stock and cut out, decorated and attached to a large popsicle stick.

For our older artists we will be using heavy card stock to create more complex forms from  drawings. We will use brads to articulate movement and rods to hold the puppet up and move it.

-A puppet theater will be set up to explore story through play.
