Frequently Asked Questions!

Do we need all of those supplies?

Definitely not! The more supplies you have, the more exotic you can make your puppets – however, lots of puppetry is achieved through voice and movement.

Do I have to do voice acting?

No, but it’s very fun and I encourage all students to embody their puppets fully!

Is there a specific type of puppet we will make?

I always start with hand puppets, then lunch bag puppets, then sock puppets, and then more intensive crafting!
