Wildlife Puppet Build & Performance-- Artists in Education Ms. Keelan's class completed their animal puppets! Students worked in groups, to create and perform short skits that were performed for each other. Definitely entertaining!   After my time in the school was over, the students gathered fun facts about each of their animals, then wrote and created a whole class performance. Puppet play written and performed for school by Grade 5 students at Ripley- Huron Community School. Grade 5 Wildlife Puppet Play

We entered the Kincardine 2009 Fall Fair Dog Show, the theme was "recycling". The night before was time to whip up a costume. Tried a number of different ideas and when I  accordion folded a few salvaged coffee filters Bill suggested a "frilly lizard " costume and I was off. (I have hundreds of these cleaned and pressed in  Ziploc  bags that my Mom had preciously saved for me daily for a year). Using a piece of packing foam as the backing, I spray glued, layering the filters one by one. Bob, the dog, was very patient thru all the fittings and had a great time at the show, arriving home with lots of prizes and treats.
