Making Puppets At Home is an entertaining, informative, and creative guide for young children and educators on how to make five different kinds of puppets, using materials easily found around the house. Award winning puppeteer, Larry Engler, shows step-by-step how to create these simple yet effective puppets in an engaging manner.
Larry's assistant, Wally the Walrus, an enthusiastic and zany puppet character, adds an element of enchantment to delight youngsters.
Using items such as cardboard tubes, paper bags, paper plates, and odd socks, Larry and Wally demonstrate how easily boys and girls can create amazing puppet characters of their own. This DVD is also perfect for craft-minded adults looking for a class or party art project that will engage kids while promoting their innate creativity.
Utilizing convenient menus and chapters, this DVD includes step-by-step directions for making hand puppets out of toilet paper tubes, mouth puppets from paper bags, and from paper plates, a hand puppet from a lunch bag, and a talking puppet from a sock.
