Penguin Freebies!

As a reminder we wanted to let you know that we have freebies to go with the featured animal of the Puppet of the Month half price sale. These blog articles have already been published but we wanted to let you know about them in case you weren’t aware of the freebies and information.

Freebies for this Month’s Puppet of the Month – Penguin

Penguin Fun Facts article has some fun and interesting facts in addition to a free coloring page. This coloring page could be cut out and glued to a tongue depressor to make a fun stick puppet.

Penguin Craft Activities has cute craft ideas for the featured animal we found across the net (unfortunately, some of the links are no longer available). But the link to the download for the template of our free paper bag puppet is working! The template can be printed on one page (to save paper), colored, cut out and glued to a small paper bag to make an adorable paper bag puppet.

Penguins in Books has a free pattern with instructions on how to make a fun simple felt hand puppet. The short list of fiction and non fiction books would go perfectly with either the felt hand puppet or a puppet with a moving mouth made from our Penguin Puppet Sewing Pattern.

No matter what type of puppet you use, whether a stick puppet, paper bag puppet, simple felt hand puppet or a moving mouth puppet, any puppet helps to bring a book alive to bring joy to both reader and listeners.

what our customers are saying:

“I love her patterns.  Pattern well written and easy to follow.”

“I love how the puppet turned out.  Please keep the patterns coming!”

Need an Animal Custom Puppet?

In one of last month’s blog articles I introduced you to Irene of Nenas Puppet Pals Shop on Etsy. The article highlighted her puppet sets that bring to life the characters in a few classic story books. The puppets she created for these story book sets are made using my patterns with her creative minor adjustments to give each puppet a unique look and personality.

We’re Back!

We’re Back and the Site is Working Again!

We have finally fixed all the bugs causing issues with our site, on-line store, contact form and freebie downloads. Gotta love technology – when it works it’s great but when it doesn’t it is a little frustrating. We are now back in love with technology since it is working great now.

If, for some reason, you have any problems please contact us ASAP (rose @ thetucsonpuppetlady.com), give details of the issue and we’ll get to work on fixing it.

Thank you for your support while we were experiencing technical difficulties. We are happy to be back and going full steam ahead. We’ve added sewing puppet bundle packages that are 30-50% cheaper than buying individual patterns. Be sure to check them out!
