PPP Outcomes: Anna Rosenfelder`s Puppet Making Kit

The first of these creative outcomes is Anna Rosenfelder�s Puppet Making Kits. These were the result of Anna�s challenge to overcome the restrictions caused by the HN1 virus in the hospital which required strict isolation procedures.

Anna comments on the process: �Having to think of a puppetry related activity which allows children on the wards and in isolation to have access to the PPP made me think that this could be a way to generally involve a bigger number of children without having to facilitate it on your own. To prepare simple puppet making kits or another art activity which is somehow related to the theme worked on in the classroom. While children who are able to visit the classroom work with the artist on a video and link up, others make puppets in their beds (or make postcards/draw images etc.). Later in the afternoon images of both activities could be tied together in one image which can be printed out."

Here is a pic in the next entry of the card Anna included in a bag of materials, which could be assembled into a puppet with no glue or scissors. Congrats Anna!
