Here is a small selection of comments from satisfied teachers and pupils.

'Better than I anticipated due to pupil reaction and excellent results obtained'

'Well presented and a great idea. Pace of lesson ideal. Good, clear, simple instructions for the pupils and myself to follow. Fantastic puppets!'

'I thought the workshop was excellent. The tasks were set at an appropriate level for the children so that all were successful in completing their puppet. The final part of the workshop, encouraging the pupils to talk about their puppet was a good idea; even the quiet pupils found something to say!'

' I thought the materials were great, varied, fun and the children were not restricted in their choice. Very well organised!'

'Great idea! Fun and educational. The pupils picked up some new craft skills and learnt some interesting facts about puppets from other countries.'

'Thank you for coming to our class to show us how to make puppets. I really really liked it and I wish I could make some more puppets with you'.

'Thank you for coming into our class and helping us to make puppets. I am so pleased with my puppet. My best bit was making the face and the costume. I hope you will come back again'.

'We all loved having Puppet-Stew visit our classroom. We like the name too. I didn't think that I would be able to make a good puppet because I am not very good at making things. My puppet that I made was really good and I am going to make some more at home'.
