Pre K Finger Puppets


 
 
 
 
Our young art spent weeks becoming familiar with the routine of COLLAGE (arranging shapes into an interesting design or picture and gluing them down) and using different TEXTURES (how something feels).   We started by discussing how a PUPPET is a type of art that can be used to tell stories and play with! Once our young artists realize they were making a toy, they become even more intrigued!

Each student began with a small rectangle for the body with two holes for there fingers to act as legs.  Next, we discussed the simple geometric shapes that make up out body.  The last step was for students to start cutting and gluing different shapes, patterns, and textures to create their own finger puppet people.  This unit concluded with a discussion around the word DIAGOLOG (when to characters talk to each other/have a conversation).  We read the book My Friend is Sad by Mo Williams and brainstormed what our puppets would say to one another if they could have their own dialogue!
