Our 5 year old Miss AJ has recently found the joy of puppets and performing for the family. It started out with 2 puppets that Grandma and Grandpa Schaff gave to little Miss C. for her birthday (a pig and a chicken), and a kitchen chair as a stage. She would gather us to the living room and oink and cheap at us for many, many long minutes.
Saturday, I decided she needed some guidance and a place to perform. After a few calls to the local appliance stores, we found a washer box that was still in tact and free.
With a razor blade, some scrap fabric turned curtains and some paper flowers to add a girly touch, Miss AJ now had a new venue for her puppet shows. She just kept screaming, “This is totally awesome!” I was the best Mom ever all day long.
Now we are finding signs posted all over the house telling us that the show is “OPENE” (ya gotta love the kindergarten spelling!). She now performs The 3 Little Bears, Little Red Riding Hood and Five Little Ducks went out to Play with Barbie dolls, stuffed animals, and a card table in front for added scenery made from building blocks. With the cousins and her friends she spent several hours this weekend planning and practicing to perform for her adoring fans…Mom and Dad, & Grammie and Papa of course!
The girl loves the stage in any form she can get it!
