Puppet Palooza: A Puppetmaking Collaboration Project

---

Abstract

This project was centered around a course in the Child and Family Studies major which frequently collaborates with the Early Childhood Education Center on campus to place students for field study coursework. Students in the course were tasked to design and sew their own Sesame Street style puppet and create an online lesson plan to be delivered over Zoom to pre-school children in the Early Childhood Education Center. The instructor for the course collaborated with a faculty member in the Fashion Design and Retailing department to create patterns and instructions for the students to create their own personal puppets at home.
