Crafting Spring Chick Stick Puppets

Stick puppets provide a simple way to introduce theatrical play and spring-themed puppet storytelling. The rounded body shape and outstretched wings represent a young chick, while a sturdy wooden dowel provides a solid base for holding the figure. Children maneuver stick puppets by turning or raising the handle from below a stage barrier.

Interesting Facts About Chicks and Puppetry
