They did a puppet show for a Title I project this year. I thought to myself, "What a good idea". It makes it so much easier to transport.Jaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00081121933082347062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-24980843170028289532009-02-09T14:49:00.000-05:002009-02-09T14:49:00.000-05:00Now wouldn't that be fun, BW?

I always though it was ingenious.

I hope your friends will be able to use the information on my blog. <BR/><BR/>I have been using puppets with storytelling since my first story, told to preschoolers in 1995 or so. I enjoy the way children connect with the puppet--adults do too, as anyone who's seen Walter the vent puppet on the night shows like Jay Leno, etc. Usually, I use the puppets to help tell a story, often inviting children to use the puppets in the story with me.<BR/><BR/>These two new ventures will be different for me as far as storytelling go, but hark back to my days doing library storytimes. I have wanted a portable stage for years--these pipe stages will be portable and useful for many purposes. I have a long canvas bag (I think a porch umbrella came in it) that is perfect for trasnporting the poles. Having mutliple stages allows more children to play with the puppets they make behind the stages. I did something similar a few3 years ago, using folding project boards for stages--not as satisfactory because they tipped over too easily. For about $30 worth of pipes and fittings and the same in fabric, I have three pretty durable stages.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-3061288288902332922009-02-08T13:10:00.000-05:002009-02-08T13:10:00.000-05:00The first time I built a puppet stage like that, I...The first time I built a puppet stage like that, I felt like i was playing with giant Tinkertoys in the hardware store, as I decided which fittings I needed. Very fun! <BR/><BR/>I don't know why I hadn't thought to take my stage to my upcoming puppet workshops with kids--usually I tip a long table on its side, but it would be safer to take the stage. Sometimes I need the obvious pointed out.PriscillaHowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01675234720604602209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-74911103916371264352009-02-08T13:05:00.000-05:002009-02-08T13:05:00.000-05:00Beautiful!
