Step 1
Pick 2 to 4 LPS characters to star in your skit.
Step 2
Decide on a one-sentence story goal for your skit like "Find the lost toy" or "Throw a surprise party."
Step 3
Write a short script of 4 to 8 lines and assign each line to a specific character.
Step 4
Mark each line with a short voice direction or emotion like happy loud or whisper.
Step 5
Gather small props and costume bits you will use in the scene.
Step 6
Arrange a simple play area or background where your toys will act.
Step 7
Rehearse the skit aloud with the toys while practicing the voices and timing.
Step 8
Record each scene in separate short takes so you can pick the best ones.
Step 9
Import your clips into a video editor and place them in the order of your script.
Step 10
Trim the start and end of each clip to remove mistakes or long pauses.
Step 11
Add a title card at the beginning with your skit name and your name as the director.
Step 12
Add one simple transition between clips so the scenes flow smoothly.
Step 13
Add soft background music or a sound effect track and lower its volume so voices are clear.
Step 14
Export the final video file at a size good for uploading.
Step 15
Share your finished Littlest Pet Shop skit on DIY.org.

Help!?
What can we use if we don't have Littlest Pet Shop figures or a video editor?
Use other small toys or paper puppets mounted on craft sticks as the characters and use your phone's built-in video editor or free apps like iMovie or CapCut to import clips and trim them.
If toys keep falling over or the voices are too quiet while recording, what should we try?
Stabilize figures with blue tack or a small cardboard stage and set your phone on a stack of books or a tripod for steady shots, then record voices close to the mic or add a short voice-over in the editor so you can lower background music as instructed.
How can we adapt this skit activity for younger or older children?
For preschoolers, shorten the script to 1–3 one-word or one-line cues and have an adult handle recording and trimming, while older kids can write full 6–8 line scripts, add transitions and background music, and export at upload-ready size themselves.
What are simple ways to personalize or extend our LPS skit?
Customize costumes from felt or stickers during the 'gather small props and costume bits' step, add subtitles and a director credit on the title card, compile a blooper reel from extra takes, or turn the skit into a multi-episode series to share on DIY.org.
