Explore Movement with Paper Puppets

A drawing of a cat in a running pose

Draw a simple character and cut out its body and limbs with adult help. Place the parts on a table and move one at a time to explore how a pose changes.

Try this

Try a wave, a bow and a surprised pose. Photograph the arrangements only if everyone agrees, and keep small fasteners away from children who might put them in their mouths.

Take it further

Keep the pieces in an envelope labeled with the creator's chosen character name. The parts can be rearranged for a later scene without changing the original drawing.
