 |
For this craft you will need the PDF printout (1 page per child), scissors, a glue stick, & some wooden craft sticks or tongue depressors. For printing in Colour PDF – one page For printing with No Colour (suitable for grey-scale) PDF – one page |
 |
Cut out the characters and the table. – To make this easier on little hands (or adults doing so in advance) the shapes are all surrounded by dotted lines giving an even boarder and missing fiddly details. |
 |
Cut the grey slit out of the background. – To make this easier it’s deliberately wide enough to use a small pair of scissors rather than a craft knife. |
 |
Put a little glue on the end of a craft stick and attach your characters and table. – Use the table legs so you can have Matthew behind without layering sticks. |
 |
|
Enjoy your story stick theatre. If you want to use your theatre for other stories then just print off other character images from their heroes posts – set the characters to be approximately 7 cm high to match. |
