Supplies needed:
 paper and a printer  a hole punch
 paste  4 paper connectors
 thin cardboard  a needle

 scissors  thread.
  Print out a copy of the ballerina template.
Click here to go to the template. To print the
template (and not any other things that might
be on the screen), click on the template first,
then choose PRINT from the File menu.
 Paste the template to thin cardboard. Let it
dry.

 Cut out the parts. Punch holes where

the large black dots are.
 Connect the arms and legs to the body
using the paper connectors.

 Thread the needle and knot it.

 Thread the string through the small
holes in the arms - knot the ends.
 Do the same for the legs.
 Tie another string to the top of the head
- make a loop to hang the marionette.

With the arms and legs hanging down, tie a

thread to the middle of each string. This is the
PULL string that makes the arms and legs move.
