Lois Walker's Easy Puppet
This craft idea is used with permission from Lois Walker’s craft page for kids.
You'll need 3 paper cups. Cut 4 pieces of strong thread or string.
Tie one end of each string to a piece of twig or popsicle stick.
| Insert strings through a cup from inside, as shown. This is your puppet's "HEAD CUP". |
 |
 |
Attach other 2 strings from Inside "FEET CUPS" as shown. |
| Tie "HEAD CUP" strings to a control stick. (Your control stick can be a twig you've found in the yard, an old ruler, curtain rod, etc.) |
 |
 |
Attach "FEET CUP" STRINGS TO "HEAD CUP" just as you did before. |
| Decorate and dance your marionette. |
