“Inspiring puppet-making! This book is fantastic, so many amazing puppets to make. My daughter is really inspired, we can’t wait to make them all! Instructions are clear and simple and the accompanying stories are fantastic.”
A Parent on the Amazon website.
Making Worlds is an ideal craft activity guide accompanied by wonderful world stories. The hand-drawn illustrated instructions are easy-to- follow directions for anyone to make more than twenty different animal puppets of creatures from all around the globe. The materials and tools you need to realise these extraordinary creations are similarly simple and accessible. The creatures range from mice to elephants, giraffes to kangaroos, wolves to meerkats and clown fish to parrots and many more…
Not only an inspirational book of creation myths and simple to follow illustrated instructions for making a wonderful range of puppets, it is also a passionate promotion of the importance of storytelling and creativity in children’s lives. A must for anyone working with children. Jane Patterson, Artist and Puppeteer
“The Rainbow Serpent said: Remember the laws. These are the laws: dream and respect. Dream and respect. It is your dreams that made you who you are, it is your dreams that made this world, so you will honour them and respect them. Your dreams matter.”
Speech written by a child in the re-telling of a 60,000 year old Australian Aboriginal tale.
Through the act of making and then animating puppets, children have an understanding and the joy of bringing something new to life.
