Pocket Circus

Are you already looking for activities for your kids to do this summer? Creating a pocket finger puppet circus from our FREE Good Day Circus Product is a fun, imaginative activity that can keep the kids busy all summer!

Materials:

Good Day Circus Cut It Projects
Good Day Circus Alphabet
Simple Match Boxes Cut Its
Card stock
wood dowels
baker's twine
glue

Directions:

Begin by building your finger puppets from the Good Day Circus Cut It Projects. These go together pretty simply and self explanatory.

To create the stage/box, the only thing I did different was add two small 1/8 inch holes to each side of the box base of the Simple Match Box Cut It. These are so you can use the base as a stage and insert the dowels to hold the banner.

You can create the circles easily in Make-the-Cut by using the shape tool (Control + Shift +B) and selecting the circle shape and then just sizing it. (Just insert the size you want into the width/height areas at the top of the Make-The-Cut program. Copy your circle, then just align and center them (select both images + right click + align/space) directly onto the base shape of the Simple Match Box.

Cut out and assemble the box and lid,by folding on the lines and gluing together.

I created a simple flag banner with the wood dowels, by stringing the flags across the baker's twine. I then used the Good Day Circus Alphabet to create a title for the box.

Then insert pieces inside the box and your pocket circus is ready to go!
