<div>Samuel, thank you for the suggestions. Sounds good. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have quite a few patterns for how to make puppets out of ordinary objects found around most classrooms or houses, so yes, I can certainly add information on classroom puppet construction. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I worked in the Outreach department of the Center for Puppetry Arts and part of my job was designing "Make a Puppet" workshops for different age groups. <br><br>I have created several cirriculums for week long puppetry workshops that focus on a topic (like dinosaurs or the solar system), and encourage the entire class to put a show together in one week's worth of 1 hour a day lesson plans.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So, I'll be happy to share my knowledge in that area, too. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for the feedback. </div>
