Birthday Success with Louie!

2008-10-05T10:49:00.021-04:00

Happy birthday to anyone who also had a birthday this weekend! Louie and I just had our first gig yesterday together for a child's birthday!
We played and sang music! The children absolutely LOVED IT! It was such a beautiful experience! They want to touch him and play with him. They really believed he was alive!!! The age range was 1-4 years with most of the children at 4 years of age. It began with Madame Tanya singing 4 songs in French then 2 silly songs in english and then we called for LOUIE to come out and play and that was the highlight of the show. The children danced and sang so cheerfully while coming very close to him.
Louie and I realized a lot of great things yesterday. The children loved the songs and the silly adorable Louie but also didn't mind so much that there was a person hiding behind the couch making him sing and dance. They just continued having fun. We are planning to make a stage very soon.

After this high energy performance, Louie left them with this picture for the children to color at home.

Hope you enjoyed our videos!

Love, Tanya and Louie

My dear precious Louie was born last Sunday September 28, 2008. He's all ready for Halloween because he is a ghost! But don't worry he's a friendly ghost. He loves flying and singing with his friends.

What's he made of?
Louie is made up of a white towel, 2 Soft Drink caps for the eyes, cardboard for the mouth, wire-hanger for the hands. felt and glue gun.

My First Puppets this Summer with Friends

2008-09-28T10:13:00.002-04:00

I was taking care of 2 lovely girls over the summer. One was 4 and the other 7. One of the fun activities we did was make puppets. We used felt, pompom, glue-gun, and a lot of patience. :) They were so fascinated when the little friend they were making came to life. They couldn't stop singing and dancing with their puppets! I guess it was worth the wait! :P

Miss Zue

Hello there,

I am so happy to introduce you to my new family of puppets!!

As most of you know I work with children in a nursery school in Westmount, Montreal. Being with kids has inspired me to become more imaginative in their world and do lots of fun things. One of them is making puppets. This summer I have begun to create them and I have to say that I've have felt so lucky with how they've turned out. Sharky I made for my husband because he loves sharks! I just love dogs so TOTO is like my Goofy or Pluto!! And Miss Zue... Oh she is so special and was born only 2 days ago. Inspired by one of the most colorful person I know... my good friend, Sue!!

Accompanied with a cup of tea, around 2 hrs and lots of love, my puppets are made with felt, yarn, pompoms, and glue gun. That's it! Each puppet I made I didn't use a pattern with; however, I do have a great book where I got lots of ideas and inspiration. It's called, "The Puppet Planet" by John Kennedy.

I remember when I was 13, I made a stuffed toy buffalo and a stuffed toy Soccerball in Home Ec class. That's also where I got the concept of how each piece goes together. It's a lot of brain work and trail and error.

Welcome to the world of my new hobby!!
