You will receive a study guide containing the puppet template to print and cut out along with a list of puppet-making materials each student will need to build the puppet during the workshop.

These materials are easy-to-find, low-cost items that can often be found in the classroom. The study guide also includes optional classroom activities you can choose to incorporate into your lesson plan either before or after seeing the program. (These optional classroom activities are different from the activities included by our instructor in the virtual program.)
