Interested in building a more elaborate puppet for the parade (and for all of your future beaver celebrations!)? Attend a free puppet-making workshop before the parade day!
We have two free puppet making workshops open to the public leading up to parade day. Experienced puppet makers can help you create a large beaver puppet (or other wetland friend) using one of our templates, or you can create your own puppet/costume elements. You will learn about beavers and their ecosystems to inspire your puppet creations from experts/researchers who will also be making puppets!
Materials provided including cardboard and paper mâché; all ages welcome (kids with parental supervision).
Take your creation with you at the end of the workshop to finish at home and wear in the parade!
