transition to discussing about the story they previously and how they can

relate the puppet making to the story they created. What is your fairy tale

story about? Who are your characters? Where is it taking place? Do they

have any special powers? What do you think we can use to make the

characters look like puppets? The teacher will then discuss the materials laid

out. Students can use any materials to create their puppet. Puppets are not

limited to specific structure. The character puppets must have a head, facial

features, body, and arms and legs. The students will transition to their tables

to work on their puppets.

During: As the students are seated at their table the teacher will call

students by groups to get materials from the table. The students will build a

puppet from the materials given. Students will be given paper, felt paper,

googly eyes, popsicle sticks, markers, glue, tape, sequins, and recycled

materials. Students will work for 40 minutes to construct a puppet for their

story. If students finish early, they can make props to match their story as

well. The teacher will walk around supporting students who need assistance

creating their puppet.

After: When the time is up the students will clean up their area. The art

materials will go back on the art table. When the area is cleaned up the

students will sit on the rug to discuss what they created for an art talk.
