Rags to the Rescue, The Humane Education Dog is a kit formerly made by Center Hill School for Caring For Creatures thanks to a grant from the ASPCA. There are a few kits left which include the Rags marionette, instructions, and a CD containing the song Stand Like a Tree. We are no longer making these kits, but since we feel the information contained in them is so important, we have posted as much of it as we can on this website.
Below are links to the written instructions, the I Quit Song, the Stand Like a Tree recording, and an order form for the Rags Marionette Kit.
Using the above instructions for making your own marionette from a stuffed animal, you can begin to use this fun, instructional method to reach students in your area.
