Goldilocks and the three bears

Goldilocks / Bear Puppets

This was a craft project to lead into a story telling session for 'Goldilocks and the three Bears'.
I used colour vocabulary with handouts to colour in the vocabulary for the story (1 hour for craft session and second hour for storytelling). A quick revision on colours and the 2 puppets took an hour.

Materials
-Lollipop sticks
-Tape
-Glue (Pritt stick)
-Crayons/Colours
-Black board pem/felt tip pen
-White circular stickers
-DVD (or similar shape) to make the stencils
-Card/Paper depending on the project
-Scissors
-Bear Puppet- Brown card, White paper
-Goldilocks Puppet- Cream card, Yellow paper
 (or colour in if you haven't got coloured paper)
...Stencil faces/ Goldilocks hair/Bear mouth
 (and pre-glue for very YLs)

Bear Puppet
If for several students/children, use a card stencil to draw on card/paper for them to cut out
(I made them oval but you can just use a DVD circular shape)

 -Stencil an oval shape  for the 'mouth' part (I stuck this on beforehand for YLs)
-Use 4 circular stickers for eyes and ears
-Colour in  ears and mouth parts
-Draw on eye detail, nose and outline
-Stick lollipop stick to back of puppet

Goldilocks Puppet
-Stencil DVD shape on skin-coloured card (I pre-stencilled the nose and mouth for YLs)
You could add a lower neck part for S's to decorate with a collar/necklace. etc
-S's cut out face
-Cut out yellow/gold hair (I pre-stencilled this for YLs but S's cut out by themselves)
-Add circular stickers for eyes/add detail
-Stick lollipop stick to back of puppet

Great to use combined with a story telling session for 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears'
