Recycled puppets

Hey everyone! I'm new and very excited to share ideas. My family went to a puppet show last summer that was full of amazing puppets on sticks. At the end of the show, the puppet master explained each puppet was made from recycled materials. Keep that old bottle of laundry detergent, clean it out, turn it on it's side, cover it with felt and put a stick/cut dowel in through the bottom. You can then decorate it to be a fish...with the mouth as the opening of the bottle. An old coffee can with a stick through the bottom and some strips of fabric attached become an octopus.

My 4 and 6 year old had a ball all last summer reusing products and turning them into puppets. We are looking forward to new "puppets" this summer!

Thanks for reading!
