As we study the Middle Ages with King Arthur, Robin Hood, & St. George, we have found shadow puppets to be the perfect tool for reenacting the tales that we read. Since puppets produced hours of entertainment for the children of this time period we thought it fitting that we also enjoy making puppets during.
Below you can find pdfs that you are welcome to download (click on the links below each image, not the images themselves) and use (for personal use only please). Just print them out on cardstock and cut them out.
* note: although the images below are in varying dimensions, the pdf files are all in proportion to each other (i.e. the knights & the prince are the same size)
You can find some instructions for making a theater here. The only change I might add is using freezer paper for you screen. It is a bit larger than an 8.5×11 sheet of paper.
This dragon & many other silhouettes can be found at Becky’s Wildlife and Fantasy Art.
