Learn Language Skills Through Play

Nature studies, particularly animal studies, are effective ways to introduce young children to schoolwork. Inside this book you will find poems, a list of library books, a factual description featuring each animal, and patterns for 24 easy-to-make animal puppets. Successful Puppet Making makes learning easy, fun and interesting, The topic is so fascinating that your children will hardly realize that they are learning.

"Not only are the puppets absolutely beautiful, but they are so versatile. They can be used as puppets, of course, or as felt board characters. The perfect addition for any professional collection. And they stand-up to being handled by children"
Beverly Hladky

	Helpful Hints Not Included in the Book:
	Once we printed the book we realized that embroidery thread is a much better choice for sewing the puppets than yarn. The embroidery thread glides easily through the felt and comes in an even wider variety of colors than yarn. Do not separate the strands of the embroidery thread for best results. There are several brands of fabric glue on the market. I prefer to use Fabri-Tac by Beacon. It does have an odor and children must be supervised when using it, but it really holds well!

Dear Valerie,
I'm enjoying the books, Successful Puppet Making and Easy-to-Make Bible Story Puppets, and the kids love the puppets!
I've already made 6 puppets and a puppet theater! I have enclosed pictures of Emma and Faith playing with the puppets.
Thanks!
Elea
