[Mr. Dazzle]

Hi Pickles... I've got a small Little puppet ministry at my church. I built a stage out of PVC pipe (Its big enough to accomidate about three or four puppeteers..) we use ours for our vacation bible school. I have a boy and a girl puppet "Manny, and Wanda", a Grandpa Puppet, and a "Billy the Bible Puppet" we use those the most... Manny, Wanda, and Grandpa are all "Puppart puppets" and they all came from Lifeway Christian Bookstore.

Year before last our Christmas pageant was an entire puppet nativity. We ordered those puppets from Puppet Emporium but they are a bit smaller.

Our VBS lessons come with a printed out devotional for each day... What I did was take the devotional and turned it into the puppet skit.

The first year we did it I just had Manny and Wanda and they talked about the lessons that the kids would learn that day. Our theme that year was "Gods Great Rescue."

Last year our theme was "From Raindrops to Rainbows" so I turned "Grandpa" into "Wally B. Weatherman" and it was like the kids were visiting the local weather station where the Daily Lesson forcast was presented and then Wanda and Manny talked to Wally about the lesson presented that day. We also used the Bible puppet to present that days memory verse.

There should be pics of my puppets in the Puppet section of the gallery... if you have any other questions just ask me!
