We enjoyed a full day at the Engelwood Art District yesterday! We enjoyed our first visit to the world renowned fun and interactive Puppetry Arts Institute for a tour with Craig and Ann. They were so welcoming and Craig, made the girls laugh as he showed the girls one of his favorite puppets - he is great with the kids! The girls loved playing with the puppets and we will go back to make a puppet! Highly recommend taking a tour, signing your kids up for the puppetry camp this week and meeting the delightful owners! Thanks to Ann and Craig for a great time!

Fun, interactive puppet show - No wonder puppetry is so dear in the hearts of many! This was a pretty small place, but I would not have wanted it any larger. One small room had puppets from around the world, another had marionnettes of Hazelle (neat variety), and another room had a puppet stage and some seats where you can put on your own shows. Rotating exhibits of special marionettes (there was an egg-juggling chicken marionette!) There are tables for constructing sleeve puppets, but I think the puppet show was the better option. The gift area has an arcade sort of thing with puppetry in a box - nifty! Super nice people volunteering here. They really need a good photographer to attract people that visit their website (and a new website design would be nice too).
