Puppet Show

Presenting...

Before O was born, there was a whole lot of creating going on. Adam used to come home from work and ask when the baby (still in utero!) would be old enough to play with the heaps of projects piling up.

Now is the time...and it was well worth the prep!

Yesterday, I brought out the Doorway Puppet Theatre. The two of us could not stop laughing at the shows we were making up. It was nice to reminisce about the days I was making all these toys and wondering who baby would be...and fast forward to the here and now...

We have a great collection of finger puppets and a couple hand puppets from IKEA, friends and Auntie. The most beloved is the raccoon in the garbage can (courtesy of Auntie!). So we started with him..and a piglet O named 'Oink' for the show.

I took the first round but had plenty of pointers from my one-woman audience ("make them chase each other!") Then O took her turn, her head barely reaching the puppet window. 

She was a natural!

Starting off with "NOW FOR THE PUPPET SHOW!"..and then changed her voice (high or low) for each character!
