Puppet on a string

Hooray! I managed to bring the right camera home this evening so I can now show you the pictures of the puppets the children made. The theme was Theseus and the Minotaur and the children were set the task of making Theseus, the Minotaur and Princess Ariadne. They made paper tubes for the limbs and either tubes or boxes for the bodies. The heads were polystyrene balls. 

The scene in the classroom as the paint was drying was rather macabre!

The children were thrilled with the finished results.

Here we have the brave Theseus...

...the beastly Minotaur...

...and the beautiful Ariadne.

It's taken two days, but their efforts were rewarded with some fantastic results.
