Short stories come to life with captivating puppets—and engage students from start to finish. Script writing and puppet making capture imaginations!
1.
Brainstorm, write, edit, and prepare a final draft of a short story with Crayola Erasable Colored Pencils. Just erase if you change your mind or to make corrections. Sketch the main character before you start making a puppet for it.
2.
Using Crayola Model Magic® compound, sculpt your character on a recycled CD or DVD as a base. Remember, you can mix colors to create new hues or to make swirls or a marbled effect. Use multiple layers of various shapes and colors. Flatten large sections, make thin rolls, or cut ribbons—whatever you need for the look that your puppet requires. Model Magic compound sticks to itself and to most surfaces! Model Magic® dries to the touch overnight and dries completely in 2 to 3 days.
3.
Attach a craft stick to the back of the recycled CD or DVD with Crayola School Glue. Air-dry the glue.
4.
Add details and more decoration to your character with Crayola Glitter Glue, felt cut-outs, and Crayola Squeezables™ 3-D Paints. Be as creative as possible. Remember the setting of your story and show something about it in your puppet design. Air-dry the glue.
