3 Puppets the Puppcorn way, Lois & Herb Walker, First edition stated 1981, spiral bound, ex library. binding is intact with no loose pages,

Addressed to teachers and parents who want to help kids make puppets without spending money, the book has ten sections discussing ten types of materials for making “junk” puppets: paper bags, cardboard tubes, milk cartons, cereal boxes, burger boxes, stuffed paper bags, disposable cups, detergent bottles, and a couple of variations on the themes. There are photos of the authors with some of their creations, many showing puppets not discussed specifically in the book, thus providing more ideas for puppet makers.

Directions for making the puppets are simple and clear and illustrated with drawings. Kids can make most of the puppets on their own, I think. Each section concludes with a “camp puppcorn” idea, that is making the puppets using nature hike findings.
