Superheroes

I don't like the flannel pieces I made for this rhyme, but someone just reminded me that I did it with puppets. I think I tied some scarves on them for capes. I probably made some masks too.

Five Superheroes

By Shawn Wolf

Five superheroes ready to fly,

Here comes a villain. Stop that guy!

This superhero can save the day.

Off he flies—up, up and away!

(Use Sticky Vicky and props) I had to leave this note in because it makes me smile every time I see someone on our staff mention "Sticky Vicky". That's the name of a rhyme I wrote, but now it is the name of the puppet we use for the rhyme. I made some superhero accessories for "Vicky", and this is how she changes her identity...

I also wrote a cut-and-tell story that ends up being a Batman mask. If anyone is interested, I can figure out how to get it onto my blog.
