Method
Draw puppet outlines on paper.



Have children decorate and colour the puppets.

Give to children, show them how to move the puppet near a wall, with light behind them by using a torch or natural lighting.

Try telling a story and have your children use the puppets to act it out. Then ask them to make up a story of their own.
