Free pattern: How to make shadow puppets, Long Dog
Grab the FREE pattern, use the instructions within AND/OR watch the video tutorial belowThis video tutorial/pattern was presented as part of a live internet workshop on 12th June 2009, via BlogTV. There are two videos to complete the tutorial. This pattern is for a dog, and there are two versions, a ’short’ dog, and a ‘long dog’. This is more for fun at home or school and certainly isn’t what I’d normally make, at least in terms of rod attachments. But that’s for another time…
Build your own shadow puppet screen. You’ll find more free patterns here, as well as a video on making joints for these puppets. Learn more about materials to use here. How shadow puppets are different to silhouettes is discussed here. [links to be added]

I want to know the benefit of using hand animal puppets for the 0-5 years old, as most of the child care centres set up this acivities, but the adults and the children don't use this items much. I wouldn't say that they ignore this activity but often they play with these items only for a very short period of time. How can I make this activity more fun and enjoyable if I have to teach the children? What other benefit other than increasing their imagination and their language skils? Thanks Wida Chandler
