Play With Your Food

In this children's book, which came out a few years ago, authors Saxton Freymann and Joost Elffers decorate fruits and vegetables to create a range of interesting characters. When you're looking for inspiration for a unique puppet design, try wandering down the produce aisle of your local grocery store or farmers' market. Notice all the unusual shapes and colors and think about how you can incorporate them into a puppet design.
