Puppets and Plays

Puppets are magical little people. They can do or be whatever you want.
Puppets can laugh, cry, jump, or dance. They can be kings or queens or
circus clowns.

With you, your puppets can be everything. Without you, they are nothing.
They sit in a lump—lifeless little bits of cloth. It’s up to you, the
puppeteer, to make your puppets come alive.

As the puppeteer, you make the puppets. You make a stage on which they
can act. You write the plays for your puppets. And then you turn your
puppets into actors on the puppet stage.

So turn the page. Let’s get started. You’ll find puppets to make, stages
to build, and suggestions for plays. As you work with your puppets,
they’ll tickle your funny bone, tug at your heartstrings, and maybe even
give you a great big surprise. It’s fun! It’s magic! It’s the world of
“Puppets and Plays”!
