DIY Puppet Theatre

Homeemade theatre* made from cardboard

The inside.
 Complete with a curtain that the performer can see through,
but not the audience.

And a string that pulls the curtain back when the act starts.

Here are my boys decorating the outside..

This was part of our art class,

but I used it as a character development exercise.

The boys have a hard time working together and sharing,

so I switched them around and had them draw in between

 where the other had previously.

That way, there wasn't "my side" and "his side."

Also the Elder had a hard time accepting

 the Little One "messing up" his work.

It is not that he was drawing on top if his brother's work, just between,

but the Elder is SUCH a perfectionist, it was a BIG stretch for him!

We had to stop a few times and talk about attitude and being kind!

See this post at CraftyPod for my inspiration.
