How to make a Tabletop Puppet out of Recyclables - Trash Puppet

- Have you ever had a moment in which puppets have come to your rescue? It sounds strange, I know, but I have. It was January of 2023, and I was stumped. I needed a way for the small group of homeschooled teens I tutor to connect with one another, or at the very least to interact. I had noticed an increase in their dependence on technology and a decrease in their interactions with one another and with me. They were each retreating to the screens on their laptops, tablets and phones, (sometimes all three at once somehow) even during snack breaks, with the added isolation provided by a set of headphones. They were blocking each other out, and locking themselves in.
I tried incorporating rhythm to get them in sync and tried some drumming exercises after they all refused to sing. The drumming resulted in a syncopated cacophony and turned out to be a sensory trigger for one of the students who ended up in tears. I had to find something else. These kids were failing to connect with their peers at a time in their lives when having those social interactions and forming those bonds is developmentally crucial!
Inspired by images shared by Michael and Valerie Nelson of Magical Moonshine Theater, and with their permission and guidance, my students and I created three tabletop puppets using recycled materials: paper lunch bags, paper towel tubes, mailing tape and plastic grocery bags. There was the typical teenage apathy at first, but curiosity got the better of a few of them and pretty soon they were all playing around with these funny little puppets. The students named them “Garbagio” “Patrasha” and "Trashton” respectively.
Once a week for the following month they worked in teams of three through a series of prompts to improve the puppets movements and expression. I mixed the teams up so they’d all get to work with one another and then let them choose who they preferred to work with. We ended the course with a puppet charades game where the other teams had to guess what the team was performing. The only phone out was mine, recording the performance. A victory indeed for this tired teacher. Puppets to the Rescue!
I posted three videos about these puppets on my social media accounts and they became some of my most watched Reels on Instagram in 2023. I received messages and comments requesting a tutorial on how to make them. I am more than happy to share how we put ours together in the hopes that they might help someone else the way they helped me.

Happy New Year and happy to see this series to return thank you for sharing the information and passion.
Thank you! Life got in the way last year, but I’m happy to share when I can ☺️
Very clever! Great video Moddy! Hope you've been doing well friend!
Thank you! Hope you’re well as well!
Topo Gigio is interesting because the puppeteers are completely invisible so he looks like he’s moving on his own.
I was convinced he was alive for far too long 😆
@@ModdyPuppets That’s what makes a good puppeteer is making the character feel like it’s a living magical creature. Also creating a sense of wonder in how a character like that works from a technical side.
I know it takes time to film and edit but I hope you are able to do a few fun and interesting videos this year.
That’s the goal!
@@ModdyPuppetsCurious what sort of video ideas you are considering.
Is the head in the back on your right side a puppet head or just a display piece?
They’re all puppets
