Puppet Play Lesson Plan | PINKALICIOUS & PETERRIFIC® | PBS LearningMediaIn this lesson, children exercise their creativity while expressing themselves through art and dramatic play. After watching a video excerpt from the PBS KIDS series PINKALICIOUS & PETERRIFIC®, children use common craft and recycled materials, as well as found objects, to create puppets based on characters from a picture book. They explore how to develop a puppet’s personality and then practice and perform a puppet show.
