   • Cut out the puppet.

Advice

• Use a projector to create the flashing light if that's what you're looking for.
• Put on a holiday-themed show.Find a story online about something holiday-related, and make your own paper figures, write down what each character will say and do, and memorize it.Ask a friend or family member to help you if necessary.
  • A good idea is to do a story about monsters for Halloween, a story about Santa Claus or the reindeer for Christmas and a story about the Easter bunny, eggs and chickens for Easter.
