Yesterday I rolled out my newest Project Based Learning adventure. The goal is to create a full length puppet production of Julius Caesar in our English class.
So I started learning about puppet building with a youtube search. I should say, I learned 90% of what I know about puppet making from watching youtube. Here is a short playlist .
I have made 3 foam head puppets to date, and I figure the play will need about 20. I know we are going to need supplies:

How do I build Rome out of Puppets?
I have made 3 foam head puppets to date, and I figure the play will need about 20. I know we are going to need supplies:
- 1/2 foam available at JoAnn Fabrics, in sheets sold my the yard, we likely need 10 yards.
- Glue- contact cement or low temp hot melt glue and low temp gun. (I get nervous with kids and glue)
- No-pill fleece Reds and Blues 6 yards of each
- Felt 15 red, 6 black, and 6 white felt squares
- Hair ? faux fur or feathers both seem to work
- Look for a google Doc to be posted with pattern and design ideas
How do I design a Puppet?
- Who you are designing is important, the characters need to be designed to help build understanding. (perhaps Caesar and his ppl are blue and the conspirators are red)
How do I learn more about using Imovie?
