It's not much, but it entertained the youngsters. Make a fishing rod without the fish. Give it to a child , turn your back to them and have them fish over your shoulder. Then make your fish while enquiring at regular intervals (looking back over your shoulder) wether they have caught anything yet. (a surly shake of the head was found to be the standard response) .When fish is finished attach it to the line then give it a tug. "look's like you've got a bite, reel her in!" I got a real look of delight from the nippers when they'd discovered they had 'caught' something. thats all Magic George P.S. If anyone who asked me for the puppet instructions hasn't received my e-mail, I posted my reply on a web page: http://www.geocities.com/majikgeorge/puppetemail.html
