Origami
Finger Puppets
provides instructions for readers to create twenty-five finger puppets. The puppet
characters come from popular fairy tales; Little Red Riding Hood, The Three
Little Pigs and much more. The book also contains directions for few finger
puppets for Christmas and Halloween. Twenty-five sheets of paper are included
so you can begin your origami straight away.
Like
all origami it is important to carefully read the instructions before beginning.
Please remember to look at the degree of difficulty before starting any of the paper
folding projects. The instructions also include directions for basic folds, a symbols
key plus the basic starting shape for all of the puppets.
While
the puppets will interest children younger than 8 years of age, many of the projects
may prove too difficult for them. Remember origami is about precision and
practice and a plentiful amount of patience.
However
with practice and presence you will create fabulous finger puppets. Surprisingly
the paper folding process may help the folder achieve a Zen like peace. Have
fun paper folding. Then enjoy the puppet shows that will surely follow.
