Puppet Making ideas with Jim Henson

This is a great video from Public Television in 1969 of Jim Henson showing innovative and simple ways to make puppets with children.
I was reminded of all the different puppets I have made with my kids over the years, especially the wooden spoon and we even used dish soap bottles and all kinds of recycled things for making puppets.

This has truly inspired me to revisit these activities with my class.
I hope you all enjoy this and find it useful.
