If you have a child who likes crafts and puppets, here's a cheap and cheerful weekend activity. Go to Craft Projects and print off the puppet theatre and puppet templates. Cut out an appropriate-size hole in a cracker box. Colour and cut out templates. Glue puppet theatre template to cracker box and attach puppets to straws or wooden sticks. We had to tape two straws together so that the puppets would reach down low enough. Voila!
Duncan insisted we add a "real" curtain, so he found a piece of felt and we jerry-rigged a pulley system with a straw crank at the top. How such a non-perfectionist could have such a perfectionist for a child is beyond me. I blame my husband.
Okay - he was right. It really did need a curtain. What do I know?
