Halloween Puppet Show Progress

Tested the new puppet show at the park, had several kids who tried helping but worked better one on one with each child ... "The Snake" left over from the Japanese Puppets worked out great! Could not see the sticks so it looked like it was "hovering" or "floating".

Ran out of "Thick Rubber Bands" that are needed to hold together the mouth gear on new Pumpkins Puppets. I should be able to fix that at home. "The Skeleton" looked great too, but too bad we could not have floating parts with him, or can we?

Getting two people together and having them perform a song by "lip-syncing" and "dancing" with the puppet is the most you can really ask for out of anyone. Reading from a prepared skit is another option I still need to explore. . .
