Homemade Christmas - Mama version

I mentioned wanting to make the children a puppet theater in an earlier post. I thought I would make an over the door theater but as I thought about it - we only really have door ways in the children's rooms and there is not much room to watch anything from the outside of the door AND how would they hang it up themselves. SO, I decided to make a table top version from a presentation board, some fabric, a little hot glue and a box cutter. The children seemed to like it and it will store nicely when we aren't playing with it. They played with their puppets and Lucy was fascinated when I used the puppets to "talk with her". Hopefully we will get alot of use out of this theater and see get to see some creative puppets made.

SO cute of an idea! I just ran out and bought the board :) Now...what did you use to hang the curtains? I'm NOT very craft oriented ;)
