| Summary: | In this programme Emma Myers leads a KS1 art lesson, making pop-up puppets with pupils at Elmlea Infants School in Bristol. Throughout, she shares with viewers how to carry out each stage of the lesson so that viewers can carry out the same lesson with their pupils. Emma begins by giving the pupils colourful striped cardboard tubes. As these are potentially distracting she takes the initiative and gets them to think of all the things that these could be turned into. The pupils each attach a piece of wadding to the top of a stick using an elastic band. This goes up through the tube. Using a second elastic band, they fix a large circle of fabric or foam over the wadding. This forms the head of the puppet. The outside edge of the fabric then attaches to the upper rim of the tube, forming the body of the puppet. The pupils then decorate their puppets, creating their own characters.
