3. The ends of the parts are lightly sanded, and then we attach the canopies.
4. All parts are painted white, even those places that will be covered with fabric, since it tends to be translucent.
5. Now you can start sewing the screen for screens. It is better to make it removable so that you can take it off and wash it. To do this, I sewed a screen with Velcro around the perimeter.
6. Accordingly with reverse side screens We glue Velcro around the perimeter of the window with super glue and nail the hinges (for wiring, we will insert decorations into them, and paint the front side as whatever: But you shouldn’t focus too much on this so as not to distract the attention of the audience.
Our the screen is ready!

(B.M. Teplov)
"Magic land!" - this is what the great Russian poet A.S. Pushkin once called the theater. The feelings of the great poet are shared by both adults and children who have come into contact with this amazing form of art.
A special role belongs to the theater in solving problems related to the upbringing and development of a preschool child. Through theatrical and playful creativity, we can develop children’s emotional responsiveness, intellectuality, and develop children’s communication skills, artistry, and speech activity.
IN Everyday life kindergarten, teachers use different kinds theaters: bibabo, finger theater, tabletop, planar (flannelgraph or magnetic board), puppet theater, book theater, mask theater, etc.
I want to tell and show how to make a complex and at the same time very interesting shadow theater.
Shadow play - ancient theater. Since time immemorial, shadow paintings have been shown in India, China, Java and Turkey on the street at night under the light of an oil lamp.
Props, which is required for this theater: a light source (for example, a headlamp, a table lamp, a filmoscope), a screen with a white screen, silhouette puppets on sticks.
At the first stage of work, to make silhouettes, we need the following: a stationery knife (cutter), scissors, a hole punch for a belt, a press for eyelets, rivets (rivets)
Silhouettes can be prepared on the computer or drawn yourself. I found ideas for silhouettes on the Internet, printed them on regular A4 sheets
Then we paste the printed silhouettes onto black paper. I immediately prepared silhouettes of the characters and scenery.
Now these silhouettes need to be cut out. We cut out small internal details using a stationery knife, and cut out the silhouettes themselves with scissors.
To prevent the silhouettes from bending, I laminated them. If this is not possible, you can use thick cardboard to stiffen the figures.
The next step is to cut out the already laminated double-sided silhouettes.
Since I really wanted the characters (silhouettes) to have movable elements (for example, they could walk), I made for the silhouettes individual elements: arms, paws, legs.
To set them in motion, the parts must be fastened in a certain way. Both wire and threads with knots at the ends are suitable for fastening. But I wanted some grace, or something. Therefore, I connected the parts using a belt hole punch and rivets.
Using a hole punch for the belt, I punched even holes in the fastening points, choosing a diameter such that the rivets would not fly out and would move freely. Previously, in the places of fastening, I marked out points with an awl, aligning the paws so that in the future they would not warp. Then I used a grommet press to connect the rivets (this press was the right size for the rivets).
Now you need to attach the sticks to the figures, by which the puppeteers will hold them. It is important to me that the theater is compact. Therefore, my sticks will be removable. The sticks that the silhouettes will use are barbecue sticks. Wooden, round in shape.. We match these sticks to the size of corrugated cocktail tubes. It is very important that the sticks in the tubes do not dangle, but sit very tightly. And we need a glue gun to secure it.
Using scissors, cut off the part with the corrugation (accordion) from the tube, leaving 1.5 cm uncorrugated ends
Using a glue gun I will attach the tubes to the silhouettes. There are two mounting options: horizontal (with corrugation) see on the wolf; vertical (just a piece of tube 2 cm) see on a pig.
To understand in the future which fastenings will be convenient for you, insert the sticks into the tubes.
Try to move the silhouettes, play with them. In principle, I liked both mounts. At the same time, I realized for which silhouettes I would use only vertical fastening, and for which I would use horizontal fastening.
The silhouette figures are ready. Now let's do the decorations. We had already prepared the base when we glued the silhouettes of the scenery onto black paper, cut it out, laminated it and cut it out again. Now we need to strengthen the silhouettes and at the same time make a system for attaching to the screen. We glue barbecue sticks to the silhouettes using a glue gun with the pointed end down.
In order to fully take advantage of our prepared silhouettes, let’s prepare the screen. Luckily for me, our group had such a screen.
We will make the main design changes inside the screen
We need simple tools:
On the bottom strip of the window we will mark places for plastic fasteners.
Secure with nails plastic fastenings(these fasteners are usually used by electricians to fix wires to walls), at the same time let’s try on how the sticks from the decorations will fit. The fasteners must be firmly fixed and not loose, otherwise all our decorations will not be positioned correctly.
We attach sewing hooks to the top strip of the window using Moment super glue. We need them to place on them such decorations as clouds, sun, moon, birds. We attach Vilcro tape (linden) under the hooks. It is better to attach it to a furniture stapler so that it does not come off.
On the bottom bar above the fastenings for decorations, we also fix the Vilcro tape.
WITH outside all this even looks interesting. The versatility of the manipulations is that all these fasteners can be used not only for shadow theater, but also for performing any other puppet show.
We will attach the white screen to the Vilcro tape. We will make the screen from a piece of calico white. Using a measuring tape, measure the width and height of the window. (instead of fabric, you can use tracing paper, unfortunately, it is less reliable)
Cut out a rectangular piece and carefully trim the edges. We will sew vilcro tape on the top and bottom - its second half.
Now the screen can be placed on the screen. It will be held taut by the Vilcro tape.
Outwardly, the screen now seemed boring to me. So I decided to transform it. Curtain curtains will decorate our theater.
Let's sew a lambrequin from a narrow rectangular strip of fabric. The lambrequin will cover the top crossbar of the window.
From rectangles with processed edges you will get a curtain in two parts. Both sides can be assembled. You can make a removable fibula so that the curtain can completely cover the window or be open without obstruction.
I pasted it with self-adhesive film to match our curtain bottom part screens.
For comparison: what was and what has become
Our theater is almost ready to show the performance. All that remains is to install the necessary light and invite actors and spectators.
In order for the audience to see the performance, we will need two light sources. Regular headlamps will serve as a light source. They are safe and easy to use.
I’ll add on my own that I used this model to create a theater with my grandchildren. Happiness was the carriage and the small cart!!! All five grandchildren and granddaughters, with great diligence, cut out the figures, painted them, glued them.......
And then everyone showed and watched together.
Below is a master class and ready-made templates for the most famous children's fairy tales.....
FROM THE AUTHOR: “The room is dark and only small rustles of the final preparations can be heard, when suddenly the light comes on. It rests on the screen of a white sheet. Dad last time clears his throat, and the first silhouette appears on the stage. And the fairy tale comes to life... 
Shadow theater—Children immediately fall in love with the shadow theater. First, they enthusiastically watch the performances, and then begin to invent the plot themselves. Let, regardless of whether the child has directorial abilities or not, an ovation always awaits him at home.
At the same time, the baby’s imagination works at 100, because in the silhouette the child will try to guess the grandmother, the dog or the mouse. A gentle and familiar voice from behind the scenes tells a story about distant (or not so distant) countries, about children and animals, about good, evil and real magic. And all this can be done with your own hands from available materials in just 15 minutes.
You can organize a stage for a shadow theater from an old box and cut out the silhouettes of the main characters from it, turn on the lamp and the fairy tale will come to life right before your eyes. So let's get started.
1. Making a scene
At the bottom of the old box we outline a rectangle for the screen. 
The outline does not have to be rectangular. The edges can be rounded and added decorative patterns. This will give the shadow theater box an absolutely magical look. 
Cut a hole. 
We paint this holey box (this step is optional, but it will look neater this way). 
WITH inside glue a sheet of paper slightly larger than the hole.
2. Hero on a stick
We draw fairy tale characters on a sheet of paper, or better yet, print them out

We cut out the characters and paste them onto cardboard of any thickness. We cut out the silhouettes and fix them on a stick. Electrical tape, glue gun or tape are suitable for this. I used electrical tape and a glue gun just to be sure) 
I used skewers, but popsicle sticks, old pencil leads, or pencils also work well. 
We also prepare the scenery (the environment surrounding the characters). To do this, simply cut them out of cardboard of any density. The thicker the decorations, the more difficult it will be to cut them out, and the easier it will be to fix them on the screen. 
securing decorations
You can attach strips of cardboard around the perimeter, in which it will be convenient to fix the decorations. That's it, the stage for the shadow theater is ready.
