Last week we entered the period of special activities and Diego had to tell the story of Little Red Riding Hood, we were told that we could use puppets, puppets or paper figures, but no video equipment, or audio support because the idea was that children develop their ability to express themselves orally through these stories.

Diego is quite shy, with his 6 years of age and 3 of them spent in pandemic took a toll on his ability to speak in public. Our little ones complied with the confinement, as well as us, and I must admit that in terms of socialization and all that it implies was quite compromised. Even this school year where we have been in school full time we have felt the impact of returning to the rigor of the institutionalized processes, of course we have continued with our learning strategies at home.
For the development of the story, Diego liked the idea of puppets, so we decided to make Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf, the materials used were colored fabric, some old pantyhose from his mom to make the face of the puppets, wool stuffing and thread.

First, we made the balls with the pantyhose and stuffed them with the yarn to make the faces of the characters.
The second step was to mark on the brown fabric for the wolf (it was the one we had at home) and white for little red riding hood to make the dresses where we would put the hands and they corresponded with the body.

After having everything ready we began to hand sew and assemble the puppets, the details of the eyes and mouth were made with needle and thread using the embroidery technique.
Once the characters were ready, we had to make a small script with which Diego would practice the story of Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf, we made some adaptations to the original story, remembering that these stories were written in a very different time and today we bet on history with less violence and where there is more tolerance and respect.

In our story the wolf is a forest ranger who helps Little Red Riding Hood find her grandmother's house because she had wandered off the path her mother had shown her and was lost in the forest without knowing where to go. In this way, we show children that they should always follow carefully the instructions given to them by their parents. Little Red Riding Hood arrives at her grandmother's house, a little late, but safe and sound.

Diego presented the story of Little Red Riding Hood and the wolf to his classmates, we were very nervous, actually, we were more nervous than he was, but you know how it is, we parents worry about everything going well. He managed to control his stage fright and although at one point he stopped to think, he found the strength to start again. We got an A+. Having achieved this special activity, Diego now asks us for other puppets and seems to like the idea very much. Thank you very much for paying attention and if you know of other strategies for making puppets leave them in the comments.
Los títeres una estrategia divertida para aprender expresión oral.

La semana pasada entramos en el periodo de actividades especiales y a Diego le correspondía contar la historia de la Caperucita Roja, nos dijeron que podíamos usar marionetas, títeres o figuras con papel, pero nada equipos de video, o apoyo de audios debido a que, la idea era que los niños desarrollaran su capacidad de expresarse oralmente a través de estas historias.
Diego es bastante tímido, con sus 6 años y de ellos 3 transcurridos en pandemia hicieron estragos en su capacidad para hablar en público. Nuestros pequeños cumplieron con el confinamiento, así como nosotros y, debo reconocer que eso en lo que respecta a la socialización y todo lo que ella implica se vio bastante comprometida. Incluso, este año escolar donde hemos estado a tiempo completo en la escuela hemos sentido el impacto de volver a la rigurosidad de los procesos institucionalizados, claro dentro de todo hemos continuado con nuestras estrategias de aprendizaje en casa.

Para el desarrollo de la historia, a Diego le gustó la idea de los títeres, entonces decidimos hacer a Caperucita y al Lobo Feroz, los materiales utilizados fueron tela de colores, unas pantimedias viejas de su mamá para hacer la cara de los títeres, relleno de lanilla e hilo.
Primero, hicimos las bolitas con las pantimedias y rellenamos con la lanilla para hacer las caras de los personajes.

El segundo paso fue marcar en la tela marrón para el lobo (era con la que contábamos en casa) y blanca para caperucita para hacer los vestidos donde meteríamos las manos y se correspondían con el cuerpo.
Luego de tener todo dispuesto comenzamos a cocer a mano y armar los títeres, los detalles de los ojos y boca los hicimos con aguja e hilo con la técnica del bordado.

Ya listos los personajes, debíamos hacer un pequeño guion con el cual Diego practicaría la historia de Caperucita y el lobo feroz, nosotros hicimos algunas adaptaciones a la historia original, recordando que estos cuentos fueron escritos en una época muy distinta y hoy apostamos por historia con menos cantidad de violencia y donde exista más tolerancia y respeto.

En nuestra historia el lobo es un guarda bosques que ayuda a Caperucita a encontrar la casa de su abuela porque ella se había salido del camino que su mamá le había indicado y estaba perdida en el bosque sin saber a dónde ir. De esa manera, mostramos a los niños que siempre deben seguir con cuidado las instrucciones que les dan sus padres. Caperucita llega a la casa de su abuela, un poco más tarde, pero sana y salva.
Diego presentó ante sus compañeros la historia de caperucita y el lobo, nosotros estábamos muy nerviosos, realmente, nosotros más que él, pero ya saben cómo es todo, los papás nos preocupamos porque todo salga bien. Él logró controlar su miedo escénico y aunque en un momento se detuvo a pensar luego encontró la fuerza para volver a comenzar. Sacamos una A+. Lograda esta actividad especial, ahora Diego nos pide otros títeres parece que le gustó mucho la idea. Muchas gracias por prestar atención y si saben de otras estrategias para hacer títeres déjenlas en los comentarios.
Making puppets is not an easy task, I congratulate you for making them and for adjusting the story of Little Red Riding Hood, I am a literature teacher and the stories, especially those of the Brothers Grimm were not made for children and today we need more tolerance and less violence, good that your son is improving in that of socialization. Congratulations dad
My kids don't like these stories. They find them morbid. lol. Are there any other less violent versions of these stories now published?
If there are already some adaptations of the stories available on the internet, these stories today in the way they were written are no longer adapted to what we live, I think it is not good to expose children to violence also in the stories and we live in a society that forces them to see violence in the streets and everywhere that I think it is necessary to take care as much as possible this exposure. We need peace, empathy, tranquility, respect in every sense.
It wasn't easy to actually make the puppets but we had fun in the process. I think these activities encourage expression and creativity and Diego loves them. Thanks for commenting
Well done making the puppets! And to Diego too, for successfully relaying the story and getting past his stage fright. ❤️
Thank you very much, I really thought that making the puppets was much easier but I confess that I had to overcome some problems, I didn't remember well how it was to sew with needle and thread but I think they turned out pretty well, and Diego liked to see his dad doing that job, we really enjoyed the practice and the final result was excelle
Que buen trabajo realizado en los títeres, además que ellos llaman tanto la atención de los niños. Me alegra saber que obtuvo muy buena calificación.
Saludos y bendiciones
