I am so very excited about my almost-finished addition to the library: a puppet theater! (or should I spell it theat
re?)
My student library aide built it for me today after we found the instructions last week online and I picked up the materials at Home Depot this weekend. Here's how it looks so far:
Here's the person who built the puppet theater posing behind his creation:
I think it will be awesome for the kids. It's very cute with a shelf in front of the stage (for props?) and windows on the sides that open on hinges. I am hoping to re-vamp my whole library program this year to incorporate literacy stations, and puppet theater would be one of our stations. There's lots more to this in my mind, but I'm still working through it and not ready to write about it yet.
So now I have to decide what color to paint it. Any suggestions? I am thinking dark purple with yellow stars on it. Maybe a black velvet curtain to hang behind the stage? I will have to look at some pictures online for inspiration.
