This puppet show script is adapted especially for the puppet stage by The Creativity Institute founders, who are veteran career advertising writers and parents. The "moral" of this Aesop's Fables puppet show script is clearly brought out through this contemporary, original adaptation.
Also included with this puppet show script is a set of puppet show stage directions that The Creativity Institute put together to help parents and children stage more professional and enjoyable puppet shows, such as tips on moving mouths (almost everybody does it backwards), simulating walking, etc.
NOTE: THIS PUPPET SHOW SCRIPT WILL BE EMAILED AS A PDF FILE.
In addition to the puppet script provided, there are any number of puppet shows for kids that can be performed with these same puppet characters, based on your own ideas, your favorite stories, real experiences, lessons to share, even movies and TV shows.
