Free toy theatre patterns: A list

(Not to be confused with set design for puppetry. If you’re looking for patterns for other puppet types, please browse the other categories as you’ll find more lists there)

I will be adding to this list as I find more patterns. Please note that these patterns come free courtesy of the credited people; please respect their wishes for creditation (if requested) if you publish the link elsewhere. This is the total of the toy theatre patterns listed on this site; feel free to browse for more on my site, but you’ll just end up back here again I promise.
