Puppet Dancing

There has been a fair amount of interest in Marionette puppets since Helen brought in her Dragon puppet from Singapore to share with the children for Chinese New Year. Since then the children have spotted our string puppets hanging above the mat and have asked to use them. Over the past few days the children have been having a go at getting the puppet to walk and dance. Kerry remembered seeing lots of marionettes in Prague while she was travelling and decided to share a short video clip of a puppet that she saw dancing. We also looked up a few other video clips on youtube including the Puppet show of "The Lonely Goatherd" from The Sound of Music. Plenty of puppet dancing was happening all around!
