Customer Reviews

Simple, original and fun!
Puppet Planet is a interesting puppet construction book. I brought it to give me ideas for the construction of a basic puppet with a low budget and I am glad to say it was very helpful. With methods and ideas that are easy, cheap to make and look great as the end result. I would say the book isn't really meant for people that are looking for the 'Professional Way' to make puppets (kitchen spoons of all things!) but the simple layout and original ideas seem a great/fun way to create what you want and any beginner that was looking to be creative would find plenty of ideas to have fun with! Or in my case, save the day for someone needing desperate inspiration.
