Project description

Building a puppet by assembling different pieces offers young people a new way to express themselves. The puppets bring an additional dimension thanks to their shape, texture and weight, giving them a physical presence. By making puppets, children actively participate in the creative process by bringing a character and their story to life, thus giving physical substance to the presence of this character and thus establishing a link with creation.
