Making puppets

Making Puppets looks at different kinds of puppets including string, glove and shadow puppets and introduces puppet shows around the world. Readers are asked to consider the different materials used to make puppets and why they are chosen. The book shows children how to make finger puppets and glove puppets and how to plan and put on a puppet show for an audience. The best-selling Start-Up series has now been rewritten to emphasise the cross-curricular teaching potential of each title.

The series now provides notes and activities, spread by spread, highlighting ways in which learning can be extended into various subject areas.

The other key change to the original series is revamped end sections featuring extension learning details together with latest internet and web resource information.
