Puppets Unlimited with Everyday Materials

Anything can be turned into a puppet, it just takes a bit of know-how. Based on the principles taught by traditional Indian puppeteers, each puppet in this jolly book has been made from simple everyday material. It proves that once someone knows the basics, it is accidents, discoveries and a sense of humour which help create a puppet. Have a set of puppets ready? Use the book's playscript, or create a puppet play from scratch.
