Nursery World - Put on a happy face

Let the children surprise you with a disguise in this crafts activity to do at home by Sarah Scotcher My last activity on hand puppets in January, if it worked for the children in your care, may have had them redecorating the living room to put on a puppet show, and seen an audience of teddies and dolls taking up residence on the chairs and footstools. Just when your hands are sore from clapping through the tenth performance of Punch and Judy, you wonder: how are you going to do it all again tomorrow? This time try something a bit more sophisticated.
