LUCA: Wow! Ice lollies! Is it snack time?

LUISA: Not really!

LUCA: Oh. So why do you have ice lollies?

LUISA: Because today we are going to turn this ... into this!

LUCA: Wow! A stick puppet! I love it!

LUISA: Me too!

LUCA: So, what do we need?

LUISA: We need a stick,

coloured paper,

a felt-tip pen,

scissors,

a glue stick

and something round, like a glass or a tin.

So, the first thing to do is to cut out two circles, like this one.

Great! So this is the face. Now you can draw on eyes, a mouth …

LUCA: OK! Eyes … a mouth.

My puppet is very happy!

LUISA: You can have lots of fun drawing faces - angry faces, sad faces …

You can stick on a nose, ears, whiskers, a bow, glasses or a hat!

ears,

whiskers

a bow,

glasses or a hat!

And now, the final step.

You need to put glue on the circles.

Put the stick onto one circle

and stick the other circle on top.

That's it, we have a stick puppet!

This is my favourite puppet, Mrs Rat!

LUCA: Ooh, I think I've got the perfect friend for Mrs Rat.

Mr Cat! Meow! Meow!

LUISA: We hope you have fun making your own stick puppets!

LUISA AND LUCA: Bye bye!

LUISA: Remember! To make a stick puppet:

Cut out two paper circles.

Draw a face.

Glue the circles to the stick.

That's it! Now you can play with your stick puppet.
