On October 21st The Old Stone House and Park Slope Parents invite the neighborhood to a one day puppet workshop to build and parade a motley crew of skeleton puppets. This project, for ages 6 and up, will help you create a puppet 6 feet tall or taller and teach you how to make it dance around Washington Park before you take it home for your own Halloween celebrations. We hope that you will bring your puppet to the Children’s Halloween Parade on October 31st!
Led by professional puppeteer and long time collaborator for local Halloween events, Theresa Linnihan returns to lead this workshop which includes printing, painting and assembling a set of bones that can only be described as lively and fun!
