Shadow Puppet Theater

 This Halloween season we celebrated at our church ward party. We were assigned a door to decorate for trick or treating. My husband wanted to do a shadow puppet theater.I thought that was a great idea. So....he did. He used a black foam board and cut out a background silhouette with an exacto knife.
 



He then adhered a piece of white tissue paper on the back of the board. He choose some Halloween images and drew them on black cardstock. Then cut them out using my Cutter Bee paper scissors. (Luv those scissors!)

Then he attached the puppets to a wire stick and bent the end for a holder. He found some kid friendly Halloween jokes for his puppet play. He had a spotlight pointing on the back of the theater screen and told jokes in a silly voice as the puppets walked by in the scenery. Too funny. 

 The kids loved it. I was laughing. Then after a while the little kids thought it was so funny that one even decided to try to poke one of the puppets and succeeded in poking a hole right through the tissue paper. haha. Classic.
Happy Halloween.
