puppet theater

The girls spent a Saturday turning the market stand into a puppet theater. Amelia wrote an elaborate story and script called "Helenour: Goddess of Strange Things." I'm always amazed at how easily her ideas seem to come. I love to see her creativity in action. Both the girls worked on designing and making the puppets and the backdrops for the different scenes. I loved listening to Elsa read her parts. She always reads with a lot of expression. I can't remember the whole story, but I think Helenour had a singing toucan named Reyin and there was also a wizard who lived in an ice cream-shaped building and he had to defeat a giant eraser that was going to erase the forest.
