In the fourteenth or fifteenth century puppeteers began to explore themes other than religious ones. The string runs up through a pulley and down to the levers that, when pulled up, blink the eyes. The arms and legs are made by tightly rolling pages of newspaper to make the "bones" of the marionette. Cut a piece of fabric about 14 x 14 inches to cover he syrofoam ball. Take a piece of cut string and place it across one end of the folded newspaper, about half an inch from the edge. If you don't have a mortice attachment for your drill press, drill 3/8" holes in the headstick the length of the slot as shown here.
About Puppet Theater
For a storyteller, they can be an important and effective tool in maintaining audience attention, involving listeners in the telling of the story, and providing a visual and kinesthetic experience to augment the aural one. By having the children pretend to go to a "story forest," or a "story lake," the teacher provides a ritual that helps children recognize and use the listening and processing skills necessary to enjoy tales being told orally. |
