As a child, one of my favorite stories read aloud to me, was when my mom read us The Adventures of Pinocchio. Tonight I started reading it to my children. When we were done reading, we started making our own marionettes. We used paper mache over plastic balls. When they are dry we will do the next step, painting.

Atlas is doing Mickey Mouse, Oliver is doing Batman, and Joaquin is doing Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.
So happy you enjoyed and remembered the "Adventures of Pinocchio"...so wonderful how you pass the magic and wonder on to your beautiful family!Can't wait to see the finished products and how cool you have a puppet theater to use them with!
