Materials

• Dora Gymnastics Theater Printables

• Puppets

Directions

1. Step 1

   Print out the Dora Gymanstics Theater Printables and puppets and cut out all the pieces.

2. Step 2

   Glue the balance beam printable onto the small box.<br><br> Break the cereal box down until it is flat. Attach the two printables with the glue tabs to the printable that includes the orange floor mat. Once glued, affix this to the cereal box for durability.

   Fold the trampoline and glue to the floor printable where indicated. Set up the arena as shown in the image.

4. Step 4 (to create Dora puppet)

   Fold the Dora printable in half and punch a hole where indicated. Insert the brass fastener into the hole. Cut small slits into the straw and insert the brad fastener legs into the slits. Glue the Dora printable together and allow it to dry.

This will create a double-sided puppet that stands (glue should not be applied to the base of the puppet).<br><br> When the characters are dry, kids can put on a that the judges will score a 10!
