Learn About Puppeteering
Watch the videos below to learn about the art of puppetry with Jesse Mooney-Bullock of MoonBull Studio. In video one, join Jesse in building a 3-D puppet that you can use in your own Velveteen Rabbit puppet show. In video two, explore how to puppeteer your new puppet. In the third video, hear Jesse's story and advice for young puppeteers!
Making Your Puppets? Get Inspired!
Check out fully-rendered images of the puppets in the Velveteen Rabbit, by the project's illustrator, Nytaya Babbitt! Her drawings can help you get going if you're feeling stuck (plus, they're just really cool to look at!)
