Hello friends, every week @qurator publishes the "Monday Mission", a contest open to everyone. The theme for this week is: "Creative Sockpuppets".
Toilet paper is a very useful object not only for the purpose for which it was created but it is also useful for creating simple puppets and giving vent to creativity.
I have a 6 year old daughter and every so often we have fun making puppets.
In this post I will tell you about a real puppet race in the family.
The puppet making contest.
A thrilling race, a challenge to the last drop of glue. :)

Quotes
The bookmakers, after seeing the finished works, published their quotes
Puppet Race Winner
Chiara - quota 5.2 Annarita - share 1.8 Monica - share 3.3
The favorite is Annarita and I must also admit, a simple spectator, that her work is elegant and noteworthy.
But the predictions are often reversed and the Leicester fable is a strong example.
What matters now is the response of the judges: grandmother Rosa and grandfather Andrea.
The winner
After a quick consultation the two judges decide who is the winner.
Taking into account the age of the participants, they declare that the winner of the race is:

Conclusion
When I spend time with my family I am happy and the game allows you to amplify the emotions with laughter and fun. This simple race is a way to encourage and stimulate the manual skills of my daughter who had a lot of fun.
Now the three puppets are ready to be part of hours of play and imaginative invented stories.
