What Teachers Are Saying About This Puppet Theater Presentation:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My students are having so much fun creating their own puppets and short plays! Very useful and complete.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I did this lesson as an introduction to puppetry for my 9-12 high school drama class. It was a hit. They enjoyed the videos and the slides-- but the end lesson where they made their own sack puppet turned out the best. Normally, they are reluctant to participate but they were up talking to each other with their puppets. I really felt like this lesson gave me a "teacher- win".

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was a perfect was to introduce puppet theater to my kiddos. Thanks so much!
