Puppet Show Central
From: 4coes
I have a cool idea to tell. I call it puppet
show central. you take an ordinary cardboard box that you think is a good size for a
puppet show to go on in. Then you paint the outside any design or color. Put up
little curtains. then paint the inside of the box a good background. Make a cardboard
figure. Then attach a long strip of cardboard to the top. Make a big slit in the top
of the box and put the figure through it. Then you have a movable puppet in a stage.Craft-of-the-Week & Kathy Ross present...
Sea Star
 craft
& sea star poem
  Kathy Ross presents this craft & poem and
says, "As for parties, the sea star would make a great invitation and the projects in
the book would make impressive decorations hanging from the ceiling and decorating the
table. I always think that making a craft is a great party activity."
Mosaic Flower Pots
  Mosaic pots are just right for creating that springtime feeling !
They are so simple to do and beauitful. This project can be done by kids who are 3 years
old and older. To give the pot a genuine mosaic look at least half of the area on the pot
should be covered by the broken tile pieces. The addition of "gems" gives the
pots a glorious, sparkling look. You can use other materials to decorate your pot suchas
shells, smooth stones, and dried beans. These are super for any gardener as a Mother's day or Easter
gift.
