We did a little bit of a discussion and she decided on a puppet show. We made three puppets out of socks. I gathered a bunch of materials and then we discussed what types of puppets we wanted to make and decided what materials would make sense. For Flynt I kept his choices pretty simple: do you want pompoms or buttons for eyes? or What color ears do you want to make for your kitty cat?
I used a hot glue gun to assemble the puppets. I let Wren point to the location she wanted the glue and push the pieces into the glue on her puppet. Flynt isn't ready for this yet so I glued his together for him.
The kids really enjoyed this process and played with the puppets for a long time without any supervision and had some good imagination time while I made lunch and cleaned up.
Later in the afternoon it was time to make the puppet show. Flynt decided he wanted to be part of the audience so Wren and I made the puppet show. It was as bad as a puppet show by a 4 year old is supposed to be but she had so much fun and we sent it to her classmates in the hopes that they make a project of their own and share it with us. I feel like this was a complete success.
Unfortunately, Blogger doesn't support videos longer enough to post the 1 minute and 50 second puppet show, so here is the first half of it.
