The Performer

We had our meet up with our unschooling group today. They all came over to our house and Nathan had plans for entertaining them.

He woke this morning and was straight into designing a puppet show set to put on a show for his friends. He didn't have a box to use for the show, but cut a large hole out of a piece of A4 paper, got out the finger puppets and had me attach the sheet of paper into a doorway and hid his chair around the corner so he could reach his arm out and have the puppets appear through the hole.

He then arranged all the dining chairs in rows in front of the puppet show, bought out his CD player and chose a song to put on so he could do a dance as well.

He wanted to make a gluten free cake to serve up, then made a sign for the door announcing it was a "Dance Show".

When everyone had arrived, he had them assembled and sitting in their seats while he prepared ("quiet please, and no giggling, but you can run around until I'm ready" lol).

He began by announcing the start with one puppet and then moved on with an impromptu show. He did some gymnastics, a little dancing, found a coin and did a magic trick, got out his juggling sticks and did a few tricks with those, played the African drum and then announced the show was over.

He did great!
