Puppet show - Motu becomes cow

Today is March 8th 2018

Very happy women's day and most precious moment in my life.

My second son has received first prize for presenting his puppet show in his school held on this January.

I would like to share the making of our puppet show concepts.

Even if my son has not received any prize I would have definitely, shared this concept in my blog. But everyone will feel excited when  listening to victory story.

First when concept was announced we had no idea of what to make. As Mithran is more interested in his craft works thought of bringing out his creativity.

So I asked my Dh to suggest any ideas for that. He initiated our first thought by saying whatever concept say about protecting cows ,using banana leaves.

I thought about Krishna n cow concept first n scripted but could not make simple ones.

The very next day we happened to visit Dakshina chitra with kids, to our surprise there was a puppet show organised there, though it happens there regularly we Are not aware of it. The way that puppeteer presented Krishna story was very creative. All kids really enjoyed simple jokes n voice modulation we ourself became excited to watch show. 

From there I got the main ideology that, though a puppet show must have a concept or message first thing is it should be enjoyed by all.

Later in the coming  days both of my sons were pretend playing as motu n patlu, so suddenly I thought why not make puppet show using motu n patlu, so I told my son to draw motu if he looks like a cow. In no minutes he drew n showed me. 

Immediately patlu, Dr jatka, drawing he prepared small drawings we pasted on cardboard n ice cream sticks.

Some how should bring my dh ideas too.

So we got idea as motu is changing as cow. Patlu tries to help him by getting idea from doctor jatka, he advises patlu to give him water n banana leaf to get back motu.

This idea I got first.

When I asked my son to draw cow drinking water n eating banana leaves he drew cow drinking water and skating banana leaves. 

By seeing that picture got idea as cow is skating leaves Instead of eating, as motu likes Samosa, I asked him to draw samosas in banana leaf, then motu eats samosas in banana leaf then finally motu is back.

Msg is please throw plastic separately protect cows.

This is how he presented his show
