Help!?
What can we use if we don't have a craft stick or straw for the puppet handle?
If you don't have a craft stick or straw for step 5, you can glue a folded strip of cardboard, a clean wooden spoon, or a popsicle stick substitute to the back of the cutout to make a sturdy puppet handle.
The glue or tape isn't holding my cutout to the handle—how can I fix it?
If the cutout keeps coming loose during step 5, press the glued area under a heavy book for 10–15 minutes, use a strip of clear tape across the front and back, or trim excess paper where the handle sits so it lies flat.
How can I adapt the activity for younger or older children?
For younger children skip step 4 by using pre-cut Cinderella shapes and a straw taped to the back for a quick puppet and sing a one-line chorus, while older kids can add detailed coloring in step 3, write longer dialogue in step 8, or make a cardboard stage for step 10.
How can we extend or personalize the Cindrella sing-along to make it more creative?
To personalize and extend the project, create extra paper characters and props in steps 2–5, decorate a cardboard stage for step 10, and record the performance to upload to DIY.org in step 11.
