Hi all, Not sure if anyone else has used EVA soft foam balls in their puppet building before (they're mentioned in the Foam Book). These are the hard yellow foam balls that often come with Nerf toys. I love using them, but the big problem for me has always been trying to find them at a...

Well, I'm off to the doctor's for a quick appointment and then going to LOTR "Trilogy Tuesday" - twelve hours of hobbits, elves, coke, popcorn, sticky floors and guys dressed up like Orcs. Though I love the movies and books I'm actually not even that big a fan of LOTR, but my 10 year-old step...
