Making Shadow Puppets

by Jill Bryant and Catherine Heard

Kids Can Press, © 2002

Part of the successful and extensive Kids Can Do It series, this book has enjoyed several awards. I love the way Catherine Heard made sure each shadow puppet features a different art technique in its decoration.

Making Shadow Puppets is a lot of fun to promote. I’ve given workshops on puppet-making in Halifax, Canada and Berlin, Germany.

“Give your friends a scare with this furry monster shadow puppet with glowing eyes.”
