3/4 ~ Puppet Making

The 3/4 students have been busy modelling, constructing and sewing hand puppets this term. What a great topic to be studying in class! We have further developed so many of our Art skills and techniques over the past few weeks and had a lot of fun in the process.

Students started out with the neck of a plastic bottle and used this, along with newspaper, tape, cardboard and foil to form the head of their puppet.

We then used coloured tissue paper and diluted PVA glue to cover the head of our puppets.

We cut out a pattern/template from felt/material for the puppet's body and then hand sewed the edges.

The neck of the head was then glued to the body using a hot-glue gun and we added finishing touches to each of our puppets. Aren't they terrific! What a wonderful job you have done Grade 3/4!
