Last week I mentioned about the Summer Readathon 2012 at MeMeTales in collaboration with PBS. The book theme for this week is Animals. Today I will share with you a simple puppets we made after we read the book, Five Little Ducklings.
First, I let Putti, trace 3 circles on a piece of white paper using a cup and cut them out. And then one Big circle for the mommy duck. Then cut the circles into half, of which we need 5 little semi circles and 1 big semi circle which are the bodies of our ducks. Then cut 5 little circles and 1 bigger circle for the heads. Putti colored all of them yellow. And while she was coloring, I cut out some triangles for the beaks, again 5 small and 1 big. These are the parts required for our ducks.
Then, Putti glued one circle to one semi circle and then added a beak. She then went to draw eyes and insisted that ducks need to have a nose and mouth too:)
Finally, she glued these onto craft sticks, so that she could hold them and retell the story and have her own puppet show!

Very cute! I love the photo of Putti playing with them - you can almost hear the rhythm.
Thank you Maryanne! Adding facial features is Putti's favorite thing:)
