    This is a great idea, I thought shadow puppets were a lost art, of course this one is with cutouts and not hand signals.

    This looks so fun! My kids would probably like to create a Simpsons puppet theatre as this point ;) Your daughter's so cute. Nice work.

    I love this lens! I've loved puppets for most of my life and have created many with my own kids and in the classroom. What is especially nice about your lens is the way you've included pictures of your daughter doing the activities.
    Great job!

    My son's Speech therapist made one to use in his practice to help draw language from the kids, we made one for our sons as soon as we came home! Love it!!!!! I am also going to use it in a college class I'm taking where we need to develop a classroom curriculum for little kids. Thanks

    This is a very smart craft to make and in case I get back to work in schools, I will pick the idea and apply with the kids as after school interesting activity!

    What a great idea for and inexpensive way to entertain kids. My kids are 6, 4, 3, and 1 so they are just old enough (except the 1yr old) to enjoy this. Especially my six year old. He loves making things! Great lens!

    Fantastic. We used this one to incorporate into our Jack and the Beanstalk tales. Great idea.

    We have always used an old sheet but I love the idea of using a cereal box for the Shadow Box Puppet Theatre. Thank you so much for sharing and for joining the Unit Studies: Fun, Creative Hands-On Leaning Group.
