PUPPET PLAY by Diana Schoenbrun

I am inspired to create after reading PUPPET PLAY.  I have no sewing skills, but I am convinced that PUPPET PLAY can turn me into a creative sewer in no time.  The easy to follow directions, along with the colorful pictures will make creating a puppet pal a snap!  I love to do projects with my kids and create projects for my classroom as well.  I seem to run out of neat and creative ideas.  PUPPET PLAY is filled with great ideas that my kids will love and that are applicable for the classroom.  There nothing better than finishing reading a craft book feeling both inspired and not completely overwhelmed.  In PUPPET PLAY you use items that you have in the house, which is a win-win....use old stuff and create something cool.  I cannot wait to find a holey sock, a sad glove or a leg warmer to turn into a puppet pal.  I have a feeling you will feel the same way.  PUPPET PLAY with bring you and your kids together.  Check it out when it is released TOMORROW!
