CHARLIE THE ELF – A SHADOW PUPPET ADVENTURE!

December 14, 2025Leave a comment

Oh I’m soooo behind with my socials!

But I just HAVE to share this super image of the shadow puppets the absolute STARS at Aye Aye Club made on Monday night.

These were all from the story of Charlie the Elf who left Ireland behind and travelled across the ocean on the Good Ship Big Leaf – safely cooried up in a cabbage! (and didn’t make it to the gold rush… but got to South America by mistake and became rich mining Uranium!)

Fantastic shadow puppets and we had fun making them move using my wee shadow theatre set-up! (a light, a frame, some clips and a photographic screen that actually went back into its back afterwards)

All part of my two visits from the #sisfstoryripple25

And be sure to visit Aye Aye Club’s page and vote for your favourite joke! This was their good deed for the ripple and they smashed it once again! 😀

Aye Aye Ripple Visit 1!

I had my first of two Big Scottish Story Ripple visits to Aye Aye Club on Monday night! We created a story – and when I say I LOVE creating stories with the Aye Aye folks – you have to know it’s because there’s going to some amazing ideas AND cabbages AND uranium !!

Because I’m a bit rubbish and get carried away and forget to take photos, here’s me asking AI to draw me our main character. (Charlie).

Next visit we’ll be making shadow puppets of the characters and the scenery! #sisfstoryripple2025

Shadow Puppets with my Promise Group

My Wednesday Promise Group have really blown me away with their designs for our shadow puppets!

Each pupil shone in a different way – creativity, attention to detail, skillful drawing, enthusiasm, great description of their ideas and confidence to go ahead and make some amazing characters !!

And the dragon… well have you ever seen such a great creation? (Assembled by me this weekend, but following precise instructions)

Can’t wait to work with them (the puppets and the pupils 😂) on Wednesday!!
