Found Object Puppets

By | | , , , , ,

Two puppets made from recycled materials are on display. Text: "Found Object Puppets", "Recycled Art", "Literature", "Puppetry".

My 1st graders had a blast making these found object puppets from recycled materials.  We read this book by Hanoch Piven.

Two colorful abstract cardboard crafts with button and stick embellishments, resembling smiling found object puppets on a white background. Three colorful homemade robot faces made from cardboard, each with unique decorations and expressions, resembling found object puppets. Two colorful cardboard face masks with yarn hair, painted features, and button decorations on sticks make charming found object puppets.

Two square-shaped puppets made from various materials, with "Found Object Puppets" text below them.
