A puppet theatre with insects

Decorate a shoe box and cut a slot in the top. The shoe box provides the stage backdrop for homemade insects and plants which – via the children – can tell the audience what we can do to look after Nature and animal life on land.

How to do it

1 Measure a piece of white card to fit the bottom of the shoe box, trim and decorate with, for example, watercolours. When the paint is dry, attach it onto the bottom inside the shoe box as the stage backdrop.

3 Cut a slot in the side of the shoe box which will eventually be the top of the box. You may need an adult to help you.

4 Decorate the punched-out card insects and flowers. Glue the flowers onto the bottom of the homemade stage (opposite the side with the slot) and attach the insects onto long ice lolly sticks.
