Kids Create Puppet Workshop Starting Today

Press release from the Humboldt County Library:

Kick off the holiday season with a creative activity! Young children and their families are invited to become puppeteers with the Humboldt County Library and Quack & Wabbit Puppet Theatre. In this Kids Create program, take-home kits and a series of videos involve children in creating puppets, developing their characters, and joining in a puppet show.

Participants can pick up a free puppet-making kit at any library branch during curbside service hours, beginning Saturday, Nov. 21 and continuing while supplies last. Instructions are included in the kits; even better are the demonstration videos created by Quack & Wabbit Puppet Theatre and featured on the library’s Kids Create playlist (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFQmB-z_Iy56ydQxMIXcGPAo6ue8OWGwO).

In videos to be released in the weeks to come, Quack & Wabbit demonstrate how to make a sock puppet talk and move, and then present the puppet show ‘Mr. Gumpy’s Outing’, inviting children to play along.
