Shadow puppets

One day some of us were on the mat with Mrs P. We were reading a book about shadow puppets. After we read the book, we saw the instructions for how to make shadow puppets. We decided to try it. 

We made puppets and tried them out. They were so good other people in the class wanted to make some too. 

We had to draw our puppets and glue it into black paper and cut it out. 

Then we had to tape a straw on it to hold it up. 

Ms P made a stage for us. She cut a hole in a box and taped some paper over the hole. Then we used a lamp to reflect the shadow puppets onto the stage. 

Here are some of our puppets. Carol made the house and the tree.

       

Can you see a dragon, a bird and an alien?

We are going to make up some stories to act out with our puppets.
