| 1. You will need to take the box you
are using and carefully cut out the bottom of the "stage"
allowing a space for your child to hold their hand.
2. Print out the stage template by clicking on the templates
on the right and cut around the background images. Help your
child to decorate them with glitter, fabric and markers the
use glue to fix them to the insides of the stage.
3. Cut two sections of fabric large enough to cover half
of your stage. Using glue fix them to the top side of your
box to make curtains.
4. Print off the templates of Pablo, Tyrone, Tasha, Austin
& Uniqua by clicking the images on the right. Help your
child to decorate them with glitter, fabric and markers. Help
your child cut round each of the templates. Some help may
be needed here!
5. Fold the tabs on the base of each character around to
fit snugly on your child's finger. Use tape to fix it firmly
in place.
6. Find an audience and the puppet show is ready to perform!
Crouch down beside a table or behind a sofa, and show your
child how to hold the Backyardigans. Encourage them to think
of a fun adventure to act out with the puppets. Make sure
you sing along with your child, and help bring the adventure
to life!
