Steps:
Steps:
Start by opening the cereal box so that it’s one big piece. Don’t tear or cut anything as you will be putting the box back together.
From the front panel, cut a rectangular hole, leaving about 3/4″ border. Repeat this process on the back panel as well. Don’t throw away the pieces you cut out as they can be used to make the puppets.
Crease all of your creases in the opposite direction. We are assembling the box later inside out and this will help.
Trim your piece of waxed paper to fit neatly over the opening (covering the borders as well) on one side of the box. Tape the waxed paper over the opening.
Reassemble the box by following the crease lines and taping it all back together. The inside of the box should now be on the outside!
Cut out puppet shapes from black construction paper. You can freehand your own characters, I have some examples below of what this can look like.
Tape your cut outs to a pen, pencil, dowel, Popsicle stick..
Put your light source on the open side of the box and put on a show!
A good idea is to find a short book that you love and try to reenact it as a show!
Have a parent or guardian take a picture with your project and email to Mrs. Roebuck at megan.roebuck@yourcharlotteschools.net.
