LUCA : Wow! Ice lollies! Is it snack time?
LUCA : Oh. So why do you have ice lollies?
LUISA : Because today we are going to turn this ... into this!
LUCA : Wow! A stick puppet! I love it!
LUCA : So, what do we need?
LUISA : We need a stick, coloured paper, a felt-tip pen, scissors, a glue stick and something round, like a glass or a tin.
So, the first thing to do is to cut out two circles, like this one.
Great! So this is the face. Now you can draw on eyes, a mouth …
LUCA : OK! Eyes … a mouth. My puppet is very happy!
LUISA : You can have lots of fun drawing faces - angry faces, sad faces … You can stick on a nose, ears, whiskers, a bow, glasses or a hat!
And now, the final step. You need to put glue on the circles. Put the stick onto one circle and stick the other circle on top.
That's it, we have a stick puppet!
