I was thinking of making "a multitude of puppet characters" for my younger 2 for their christmas present. (I'm contemplating a "handmade" emphasis for this xmas! I always let grandma get the big exciting present anyway!). So I am on the lookout for a good puppet pattern----I would like something rather "simple" looking, not, well, gawdy or silly, which all the ones I have seen so far are. Maybe a bit Waldorfy, but not too hard, as my sewing skills are quite elementary! I will probably use thin wool felt (?). Anyway I have a feeling I'll end up just drawing one myself but just in case anyone knows of something like this out there.

I had an idea for a portable "doorway theater", using a spring rod with a little curtain, just thought I'd share this idea :)

On another note--I am completely blank as for a "handmade" gift for the teenage boy--!

I made one of these from Kwik Sew pattern a few years back. The kids loved it.

I just googled "kwik sew puppets" and found the pattern immediately. Very cute!! A little more elaborate than I was thinking--I was thinking maybe a "half skirt", or half the doorway, just a simple curtain I guess---

the puppets were nice too but also maybe a bit more than I want to get into. I am really not that great of a seamstress, tho always full of ideas of things to make
