Job ID: 37786289

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

As an author of children's books, I'm seeking a talented craftsman/craftswoman with foam work skills, and puppet construction experience, specifically, hand puppet design.

Your task will be:

- Designing and constructing a foam hand puppet of STINKY THE SKUNK for school visits and library readings
- Creating a design that is engaging, yet durable for regular use
- Utilizing your knowledge and knack for puppet aesthetics to create a puppet that appeals to children and captures the image of our main character, STINKY. (The cover image includes some other characters in the first book but we wanted to make sure you saw his tail.)

Applied material:
- Foam

Ideal Skills:
- Foam crafting skills
- Experience in puppet construction
- A creative eye for child-friendly design
- Understanding of puppet use in an educational context

It's essential that the puppet is a suitable size for teaching multiple age groups, visually appealing, comfortable to manipulate, and resilient enough to maintain its shape and continue looking attractive after constant use. Experience working on previous educational or children's projects will be highly advantageous.
