What are parade puppets?
Parade puppets are really an umbrella term for puppets used outside (er, not literally ‘umbrella’, as you’ll see in a moment). Technically any puppet type can be used outdoors if made with weather-durable materials, but typically when we refer to parade puppets, we mean objects that can be used by multiple people, can be seen from large distances, are easy (very lightweight) to carry, and can be used with minimal knowledge of puppeteering. Because they are used outside, it’s important to make them visually distinct, so they stand out from the background.
Ah, blacklight stuff is always so trippy. I love these things. My friend also used this stuff for halloween costumes and it worked very well. Do these things all have to be tested in the dark? It might be harder to actually test before you buy because the store might have too much visible light...
