Prepare a small gourd with a neck tube as shown. Paint the features and wizard's starry cap with enamel or airplane dope. Add a nose and glasses cut from construction paper.
Making Up a Play By now you must have enough puppets to put together a little play of your own. You only need two or three. What if we find Gordo the Wicked Wizard in his laboratory making a mechanical man?—Robert Robot, of course! Cackling horribly, Gordo presses the button of his infernal machine and brings Robert to life. "Go get me a fair maiden, I command you!" cries the wizard and scampers into his study. Robert looks hopefully about. No fair maidens in sight. But who should wander in just at that moment but Raggedy Ruthy, a maiden anyhow, and fair enough. Robert jumps at her. She screams. They run in circles. A heroic barking is heard. Perky Pup to the rescue! You take it from there. No need to write it down. Just go through it in your mind or talk it over with your partner. Make the story as simple as possible with lots of action, and whatever you do, have fun. That's what puppets are made for. |
