THE PUPPETS
This 12-puppet set includes Caucasian Teacher/Housewife, Chef, Doctor, Referee, Engineer and Farmer/Cowboy puppets, African-American Executive, Fireman, Athlete and Teacher/Housewife puppets and Hispanic Female Doctor and Policeman Puppets moving-mouth hand puppets.
Multicultural puppets help children learn about careers in their community.
Puppet Partners half-body hand puppets have movable mouths that allow for greater expression. The Puppet Partners Puppet was selected by The Creativity Institute for its ability to develop creativity in children, with features that include:
- Moving mouth
- 16" to 18" tall
- Made of durable fabrics that are surface washable
- Great fun for amateur or professional puppeteers
Puppet Partners puppets are designed by puppeteers. Puppet Partner puppets are very durable, but should be treated with reasonable care. If the puppets become dirty, the surface may be washed with a damp washcloth and mild soap.
Puppet Partners puppets are quality Get Ready Kids educational toys.
THE SCRIPTS
The scripts included in this set are original puppet show scripts that The Creativity Institute writers have developed to be easy to perform and a fun experience for children.
The Good News, Bad News puppet show script incorporates the full 12-puppet cast in a humorous quick-moving skit. As each puppet encounters the next on the street, they exchange an original good news, bad news joke. This puppet show length is approximately 5-6 minutes. Parts can easily eliminated to accommodate smaller numbers of performers.
The Parents Day puppet show script uses five of the occupation puppets in a humorous quick-moving skit in which parents have come to class to describe their jobs to the children. When something goes wrong, the class learns even more about occupations.. This puppet show length is approximately 2-3 minutes.
Also included with this puppet show script are puppet show stage directions that The Creativity Institute has put together to help staging more professional and enjoyable puppet shows, such as tips on simulating walking, etc.
NOTE: THESE PUPPET SHOW SCRIPTS AND DIRECTIONS WILL BE EMAILED AS PDF FILES.
