String Puppets. Or also known as. Jumping Jack.
Ballerina Marionette
Print out a copy of the ballerina template.
Cut out the parts. Punch holes where the large black dots are.
- Thread the needle and knot it.
- Thread the string through the small holes in the arms - knot the ends.
- Do the same for the legs.
- Tie another string to the top of the head - make a loop to hang the marionette.
With the arms and legs hanging down, tie a thread to the middle of each string. This is the PULL string that makes the arms and legs move.
Have fun with your new, Ballerina Marionette.
