Mighty Knights Shoe Box Puppet Theater

Now kids can perform a "Tale of The Mighty Knights." It all begins with our printables and a shoe box!

Your backyard friends are on Nick Jr. every day

Materials

• Mighty Knights Castle Backdrops
• Scissors
• Shoe box (grown-up size is recommended)
• Glue stick
• Tape
• Mighty Knights Puppets
• Craft sticks (or popsicle sticks, pencils, chopsticks)

Directions

1. Step 1: Print out the backdrops

   Print out the nine-page Mighty Knights Castle Backdrops to decorate the inside and outside of your shoe box.

2. Step 2: Design the set

   Help your child cut out the backdrops to fit your box. There are pages for outside walls (small stones), towers, turrets, and interior walls/floor (larger stones). Use the photo as a guide or mix and match and make your own castle!

3. Step 3: Make the puppets

   Print the Mighty Knights Puppets and help your child cut them out. Glue or tape the characters to craft sticks (or pencils or chop sticks) and you've got puppets!

4. Step 4: Put on a show

   Place the box on the edge of a table and add a loop of tape to the bottom to attach it firmly in place. With your child seated in front of the box, he or she can tell the "Tale of the Mighty Knights."
