Self Puppet
Make a puppet of yourself using a photo
Don't let the simplicity of this
craft fool you. Children love playing with a stick puppet in of their
likeness. Avoid instant Polaroid prints, as then tend to separate. Use a
picture printed out from your computer, which will allow you to enlarge
to desired size, or a full length photograph.
Materials Needed:
Full body photograph of the child (from head to toe)
Scissors
Wooden ice cream stick
Glue stick
Directions:
1. Cut out the entire figure in photograph.
2.Use the glue stick to attach photo onto top half of the wooden stick.
If you are using a larger photo, and it flops around too much, reinforce
it by gluing it to cardboard, and then cut out the picture/cardboard
shape.
3.Once the picture is firmly attached to the wooden stick, you can hold
the end of the stick to position your self puppet.
