Photo Puppets

These photo puppets were so much fun to make, and I think the girls will enjoy making scenery to act out plays with them. What little girl doesn’t like to imagine herself as a flying fairy? For boys, try this same technique, but turn them into superheroes instead. Not that there’s anything wrong with boys who want to be fairies or anything… I’m just sayin’.

This is mostly a Mommy/Daddy craft, but you didn’t think we let the girls have ALL the fun, did you? Heavens, no! Mark took some photos of the girls playing with magic wands and I cut them out.

I used the leaf-shaped paint chips from Home Depot as a pattern for the wings, which were cut out from an old wallpaper sample book (free at most paint supply stores).
Glue on a popsicle stick, and it’s time to play!!

Clara’s magic wand worked so well — it made one of her shoes disappear!

Have fun!!
