Puppet show



This is what I like to see!! Last week was Spring Break, and I hate to see a day go to waste by the X-box or tv or Wii. I unplugged them all one day and told them to use their creative minds. They came up with a puppet show, a carnival and even made a little movie complete with dress ups. They made these sock puppet dinosaurs, with a little supervision, but they came up with a story on the fly while I recorded it on film. They loved it, and watched their "movie" over and over again, and laughed every time. They still talk about it, and I have decided to drastically reduce the amount of time they have in front of the tv and video games. They were already limited, but now that the weather is finally getting nice ( with the exception of today, it snowed again), I can send them outside more. I love to see their little brain working and creating.
