Spooky Shadow Puppets

Mini Eco featured this slightly spooky Shadow Puppet tutorial http://www.minieco.co.uk/shadow-puppets/ We had to tone down the spookiness for our version.
Instead, we featured three characters from Baby C's favourite book,
'Hallowe'en Mice" http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2044196.Halloween_Mice_

Felt Shadow Puppets

We have an extra sturdy roll of felt that served as the perfect medium for delicately-cut silhouettes.

A small rectangle patch was sewn on the back to insert a chopstick!

The book features some sweet shadow pictures, so it wasn't difficult to find models for puppets.

The puppeteers worked hard juggling flashlights and characters for the show!
A simple cloth sheet can serve as a canvas, but the teepee is already set up in our living room, so we used this instead.
