A Puppet Show in the Making

Lola's school handles the core subjects of Math and Language Arts, I like to encourage these subjects here at home too.
Today, Lola and I played a writing game (an idea I got from a book!). It's called the "Silent" game...I passed a note to Lola that said I wanted to play a game with her but the rule was "NO TALKING!". We exchanged the note back and forth, responding to each other. Through the course of the dialogue, we got the idea to make puppets so we abandoned our note soon after to get to work. We have done the game several times since then, though. Lola's face lights up every time I surprise her with a written note!

Here are the puppets we made. Later on, we made a story for them.
