- Sturdy cardboard box
- Craft knife
- Straightedge
- Packing tape
- 3 tension curtain rods
- Construction paper
- Paints
- Markers
- Old curtain
- Instructions
-
-
With a craft knife (a parent's job), carefully trim the sides of the box to 7 or so inches high.
-
Cut a trapezoidal notch in one of the longer sides, as shown here, to give the puppeteers more room to work. -
With a straightedge, draw a rectangle on the box's bottom for the stage opening. We placed ours 4 inches from the top and sides and 5 inches from the bottom edge.
-
Carefully cut the rectangle from the box bottom and with packing tape secure the loose edges of the flaps and reinforce any weak seams.
-
Cut 4 holes for 2 of the tension rods. Cut one set top middle and the other set botton middle. Each hole should be centered in the sidewall and as close to the seam as possible.
-
Decorate the front of the theater. Cover the box with construction paper to hide the seams, then decorate it with crayons and markers.
-
Thread an old curtain on the third curtain rod and hang it just below the stage.
