SHADOW PUPPETS PIRATE ADVENTURES!

Four salty seadog pirates, one with a spade, one with a hooked hand, one with a pegleg and one looking out to sea and all wearing big boots with turnups are four of the eight puppet characters in the box set. The other four are pirate flags, a sailing ship and an eagle. Each of the puppets are on sticks and the accompanying sheet of paper gives a few tips on how to start telling stories with your puppets whether they are in the middle of the woods, out at sea, their motive to find hidden treasure and what unexpected occurrence could change their plans. Plus how you will end your story whether they remain friends or are now deadly enemies! The brief history of shadow puppets explains that they were used as long ago as 2,000 years in China and it is believed that French missionaries brought the artform from China to Europe in the 1760s. India and many southeast Asian countries still have their own traditions of shadow puppetry today, often accompanied by dramatic music to enhance the story. For ages 3+, let your imagination go wild.
