He swapped the straw house with a bubble wrap house, causing a hilarious popping chaos on stage. In the end, the pigs and Max laughed together, learning that sometimes a little mischief can make the show even more fun.

What types of wood are wooden puppets made out of?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Soft woods are easier to carve, making details such as faces and hands easier to provide. Also, puppet body parts may need to be carefully or accurately drilled, to add controls or strings. In soft woods, this is more easily done without causing breaks or cracks.

How can I make simple finger puppets?

Asked by Wiki User

There are many kinds of puppets, but here's the kind I make in 10 easy steps. You will need:

  • Foam
  • Felt
  • Patterned Cloth
  • Googly Eyes
  • Yarn
  • a Hot Glue Gun
  • Scissors
  • Spray Paint
  • 1 Paper Plate

1. Cut out a large rectangle from the cloth - it can be any color or any pattern.

2. Hot glue the ends of the rectangle together to make a cylinder shape.

3. Cut out 2 arm & hand shapes, two long rectangles, 2 small circles, 1 large circle, and a half circle half the size of the large circle from the foam.

4. Now you cut 4 slits in the front of the cloth, 2 towards the top, 2 towards the bottom, and heat up the hot glue gun! you insert each arm into a slit slightly deep, and glue the remaining cloth to them.

5. After the arms are glued, take each small circle and glue it to the bottom of a long rectangle.

6. Then, glue the finished legs into the bottom slots.

7. Finally, to construct the head, fold the paper plate in half.

8. Glue half the rim to the front rim of the large circle, and the other half to the front rim of the half circle.

9. Glue the back rim of the half circle to the front of the cloth, and the back rim of the large circle to the back of the cloth.

10. Then, use foam, felt, and yarn to decorate your puppet.

ENJOY!

What are stick puppets?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Puppets are made up of foam, latex or both. Puppets can also be carved out of wood, they are called ventriloquist dummies. Puppets are used by puppeteers and ventriloquists in a puppet show. Ventriloquists make you believe that the sound is actually coming from the puppet and it is speaking since they can speak without moving their lips. If you want to have a look at the full body latex puppets try googling Allpro puppets or just latex puppets or ventriloquist dummies.
