Make Your Own Cereal Box Marionette!
Visual Arts
April 12 – June 25
Have you always wanted to make a marionette but thought you did not have the right materials? While staying at home, we have all been creating a lot of art out of materials found around the house. It has forced us to be more resourceful and look at materials in a different way. Follow this video and make your own cereal box marionette. It is so much fun to make a character come alive or animate it with movement, sound and expression. You can also make a costume for your puppet – a great way to make your stories come to life!
