Hi there everyone, my name is Jarim and im from Spain. Im school teacher and im planning on making an easy "body-arms-head" puppet in my class. My kids are 9-10 yo.

Im totally new at this puppet making thing but i made lots of stuff before, using lots of materials.

So any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advace.

Welcome to Puppets and Stuff. Just check out some of our threads discussing patterns.

thanks for info, it was really useful, but whats up with all this "pay for pattern" thing?

i thought they would be free -.-

And i just need the most simple pattern ever i guess :D

LOL, Nothing is free these days. I got my start from a very old patter found in a old women's day magazine. This is a link to Puppet buzz. http://puppetbuzz.com/2007/06/21/the-purple-necked-black-bearded-blatch-with-full-size-pattern-download/. On this page is a link to the original pattern, an a updated pattern. I don't think I will get in trouble for sending you this since it's how I found it. The puppets work well for a starter and are easy to make. Good luck.

Thanks Archangel, that was EXACTLY what i was looking for. Again, thanks

I was just going to say that Billy has many free patterns from the internet....go and check it out he listed them above.

The best and most complete patterns will almost always come at a price.  It takes a lot of work to design a puppet pattern.  Most of the free ones do not have the most complete instructions.  But if you have the ability to fill in the gaps when the instructions are not so clear you should be able to get along just fine.

If you have any questions be sure to ask and well be glad to help.

We love to see what children come up with when the build puppets so please post some pictures if you can

Yah! I agree with Jon. I would really like to see the kids finished puppets. Maybe even some of them in construction.

  Hey!  o P&S!
