                                   Paper Doll Chain Puppet


                                   Materials Needed: Colors, Paper, pencil and scissors

                                   Making Process:
                                   First I took a sheet of paper and folded it into five sections. Then I made a drawing of a
                                   girl wearing a frock. I cut the outline but I did not cut the edge of the folded part. Then,
                                   I drew the face, the hair and other decorations. I wrote the names on each doll and
                                   finished my puppet by  coloring it.  I made paper doll chain puppets for my friends.

                                   Challenges I faced:
                                   The cutting part was very challenging. I also found the coloring and decorating part a
                                   bit difficult.
