Since my daughter has been interested in
puppets we've signed her for a puppet theater class. In addition to
that we've been experimenting different type of puppets and stages.
Today I would like to share my idea for a little bit
different, but easy to make
A Popsicle Stick Sliding Puppet Theater.
Prior to the project my daughter chose a story she wished to
make –
“Hansel and Gretel” after Hans Christian Andersen.
I read it to her; we discussed the details and went for an
action.

I’m always a big fan of recycling staff, therefore this time we used a soap box.

We cut three parallel lines on the top of the box to slide the puppet sticks.

She made three sliding scenes as a background.

She drew main characters on the popsicle sticks.

Then it was time to assemble the pieces together and put on a show.

After few performances my daughter added some decorations to the front of the box to make it more interesting and dimensional.

For more fun watch a stick puppet show about Johannes
Gutenberg's printing press invention from 1440:
You can find more facts about a German inventor Johannes
Gutenberg by clicking on a link below. http://www.ideafinder.com/history/inventors/gutenberg.htm
This is fabulous! So creative what you did with soapbox and a few popsicle sticks!
