Lion King Preparation 2nd grade

Second graders have been working giant paper puppets. Puppeteers will hold the puppets and walk through the aisles with them during the Lion King Performance.

Check out the construction process....

Day 1: We voted on the animals we wanted to make (as much as I tried to steer the class to make an elephant, everyone either wanted to do a Hyena, Lion, or Cheetah) and then painted the oak tag accordingly.  

 

Day 2: We drew and cut out the limbs. Each table got a different limb (head, leg, tail, neck.) This required a lot of collaboration. 

Day 3-4: Decorating, adding tissue paper, sequins, raffia. So much fun!

Day 5: Add supports, handles and connect the puppets with brass fasteners. 

Final Results! Check back in for updates from the day of the show. We have 8 puppets in total!
