Teachers, save “STEM - Can you control a puppet?” to assign it to your class.

Marionette puppets move by the puppet master controlling the body and using strings to move the parts, just like the brain controls our body. Use the puppet template, or design your own, to create a marionette and see if you can get your puppet to perform a dance. You will need: Thin cardboard (cut into shape in step 1), Lollipop sticks x2, Wool or Strong cotton thread, Unvarnished big wooden bead, Small wooden drop shaped beads x4, Felt tip pen, Pretty papers Take a photo using the of your puppet Record yourself making your puppet dance to send to your teacher
