Making Worlds

"A book that every primary teachers needs to see, borrow, or alternatively purchase.

The fact that this book exists at all is a story of creation and creativity. Each section starts with a creation myth a story to inspire. Then detailed instructions and illustrations to help make the characters in that story. All you need is the book, some masking tape, newspaper, cardboard, tissue paper, a little imagination and glue. Illustrations and instructions are easy to follow and routed in years of story telling and inspiring children." Ori Dalton, Headteacher

Not only an inspirational book of creation myths and simple to follow illustrated instructions for making a wonderful range of puppets, it is also a passionate promotion of the importance of story telling and creativity in children's lives. A must for anyone working with children. Jane Patterson, Artist and Puppeteer

 Inspiring puppet-making

This book is fantastic, so many amazing puppets to make. My daughter is really inspired, we cant wait to make them all! Instructions are clear and simple and the accompanying stories are fantastic. A Parent

"This is more than a book, it is a gem and something to treasure. It is packed with simple instructions on how to make amazing puppets. There are wonderful creation myths to accompany the puppets, and descriptions of how these two elements can come together to inspire children to create their own imaginative world around these stories. I have been privileged to witness the magic that happens when a space is offered up to create a workshop in this way and to experience the joy that this brings to the children involved. It is also beautifully illustrated and such fun to read. Simply inspiring." Mandy Oliver, School Counsellor.
