Logan (then 12) helped me shop for supplies: feathers, colorful foam shapes, pipe cleaners, googly eyes, glue dots, and socks (some gently used).
Unfortunately, the boys were only 3-going-on-4 years old ... too young to visualize how to put puppets together, let alone put on "shows." So this year, I decided to make the puppets myself ...
then see where G and J's 4-going-on-5 imaginations might take them. And I don't doubt that 2-going-on-3 Jace will get in on the action, too.
Even if the whole idea goes nowhere, I must say I had a lot of fun making sea gulls ...
pelicans ...
jellyfish, rainbow sharks ...
sea horses, coquina clams ...
turtles, blue crabs ...
and whales ...
However, with any luck, there will be pictures of the puppets in action to share next week. We'll see.
