Create a space where your child can extend his play with puppets

What You Need:


  • Tri-fold cardboard (approx. 48”x36”)

  • Utility knife (for adult use only)

  • Paint, markers and other materials to decorate the theatre

What To Do:


  1. Using the utility knife, cut a square/rectangle stage opening in the middle top-half section of the tri-fold cardboard.

  2. Have your child paint the theatre or use other materials to decorate it. Talk about what a theater is used for and demonstrate how to place the puppets on stage.

  3. Set it up and enjoy!


Variation: Make a puppet theatre by draping a blanket over a bench or table.
