Learn how to create your own Lion and Mouse shadow puppets at home! Designed for beginners and younger children, Mr. Damon will show you how to make a puppet from simple materials.
Here's how to get started:
Step 1: Watch the Welcome Video from Mr. Damon
Visit https://vimeo.com/424558966/8440378b59 to watch a 30-second video to get a sneak peek at a finished shadow puppet.
Step 2: Gather Your Supplies
Download and print the instruction sheet (http://www.theaterartsandpuppets.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Lion-and-the-Mouse-Shadow-Puppets-2ndPage.pdf) and the puppet template (http://www.theaterartsandpuppets.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Lion-and-the-Mouse-Shadow-Puppets-Forsyth.pdf). Then get scissors, tape, a thumbtack, paper fasteners (or string or a bread tie with wire inside), three rods (or chopsticks, pencils, or straws), and crayons or colored pencils.
Step 3: Make Your Shadow Puppet with Mr. Damon
