What inspired you to make this project?
I love dragons, wolves and animals. I saw someone make this on youtube when I was in the fifth grade and haven't stopped making them since.
What are some of the challenges you have encountered and how did you address them?
Learning how to demonstrate making the puppets and gauging the participating child's ability to create with me. I have discovered younger children will need my help and children around age 8 and older are capable of following instructions. I addressed it by offering a few demos to anyone who had time to hang around and learning from those experiences.
