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.
