There is really something magical whenever a puppet comes to life. Hand puppets, sock puppets, finger puppets... it doesn't matter, they all make us smile (and forget about the 'real' world for a while). This lens is dedicated to this magic. And we will explore the additional magic that occurs as we create our own puppet friends, and then make them come alive... right in our own hands!
But that character that is created in the look and motion of the puppet certainly makes it 'come to life'. And putting that 'life' into the hands of the children themselves is what this lens is all about. Hand puppets are arguably the most articulate, intuitive, and easy to create of all the various puppet types. Therefore, hand puppets, sock puppets, and finger puppets will be the focus on this page.

Puppets are, in many ways, a universal language.
Whether they be shadow puppets, sock puppets, or even the simple cone puppet, children (of all ages) delight at the sight of the puppet. Take your time here, feel free to browse. (Truth is you just might learn something about puppets, and find some great deals!)
