Stick Puppets
A stick puppets is probably the most simple puppet to make –
but if your talents are advanced, you can decorate these as elaborately as
you can imagine! The most essential
equipment for a stick puppets is , of course, a stick- either an ice cream
stick, rule branch or thin wooden dowel. Cut shapes from paper and staple or
glue them to the stick. Then decorate them- be realistic, unusual, or downright
fantastic.
Similar to a stick puppet, a rod puppet allows more movemient
and also more realism. A wooden dowel glued to the tagboard body form the main
support, while you manipulate strips of
tagboard up and down to move the puppet’s arms and legs. Brass paper fasteners
at the joints let each limb move independently of any other. The Little boyo n the
back cover is a rod puppet whose rigth limbs
and left limbs are fastened yo two comic positions with this arrangement.
There is a myriad of objects you can use to make a puppet-
but the paper bag is the most convenient
of all! The flap on the bottom permits the puppet’s head to move; all you need
to do is draw features on the face. Tou can decorate this bottom flap in two
ways, as shown in Illus. I: Paint the top lip of your carácter on the flap and
the bottom li pon the bag itself, so your puppet moves hi slips as his voice is
Heard. Or, for a flirtatious puppet, paint the eyes on the flap. What could be more seductive than paper bag puppet
winking at you? After you desing the puppet’s face, add a body.
The slader miss in illus 2 has become a whole being with
cut-out curves, drawn with soft – tip markers. Her boyfriend on the rigth has been
living the good life- he has a slight paunch, made by stiffing his paper bag
body with news-paper. Soft-tip markers make the details of his shirt and tie; use tempera paint or crayón
if you prefer.

To manipulate the stick puppet, hold the stick at the end.
Raise it, lower it, wave it from side to side as the carácter in your puppet
play speaks. If you crouch behind a table or hold the puppets inside a carboard
box, the audience sees only the puppets and not your hands.
