Make Puppets out of Pegs!

5 6 7 Create! is a free series of four short videos for kids (and an adult).  It shows you how to make your own puppet toys from everyday items you can find at your home.

Making puppets is a fun home activity for kids and is a simple way to keep creative kids entertained!

This video gives you easy to follow instructions on how to make imaginative and exciting hand puppets out of – pegs! Watch it with the kids.

Then guard your clothes and watch out for your nose, because peg and paper puppets can get up to all kinds of mischief! Learn to make dinosaur puppets or even animal puppets and bring these theatre toys to life.

And our puppeteers don’t just show you how to make a puppet, they will inspire you and the kids to dive into your imaginations to put on puppet shows that will excite awe and silliness in everyone who sees them!
