Instead, I have used puppets in my teaching career to entertain and captivate my students while helping them to understand and remember key learning concepts.
Handouts, templates, instructions and links will be provided by the teacher. Most materials required are commonly used in the average home. Lists will be provided as needed with plenty of time for acquiring materials.
Hello! Do you love puppets? Have you ever played with a puppet? Do you own a puppet? If not, that's ok. We will actually make our first puppet together within the first five minutes of our first class! Don't believe me? Well, I can't wait to show you!
