Combine this with Tongue Depressor Puppets
Materials:
- Shoe box
- Construction paper
- Scissors
- White glue
- Pencil
- Markers
- Optional clear contact paper
Directions:
Pick a theme for your shoebox theater. The theme can
be a scene from a book, movie or maybe your home. Out
of construction paper cut out backgrounds for bottom,
top, and sides for the inside of box. Glue backgrounds
to the inside of box. Next, cut out shapes of
construction paper for the objects in your scene such
as, trees, house, furniture, pets, etc. Glue them into
place on the background. You can use markers to draw
in objects too, especially small details. Cover and
decorate box lid with construction paper. To make
your Shoebox Theater more durable you can cover them
with clear contact paper. You can use the shoebox lid
as a stand for the tongue depressor puppet craft by using
scissors or a craft knife to make small slits in the box
lid, carefully pushing tongue depressor puppet
through slit. This craft can be fun to use with finger
puppets, action figures, and small dolls such as
trolls. You can make several boxes and stack them
together for a small dollhouse.
