I have decided to make a test puppet as a starting point and develop it into a solid idea from there. My starting point is going to be a to scale puppet of a child, I have decided on a child of around 3 years old so on average 3ft tall. I have chose to do a scaled puppet so it is capable of wearing children's clothes, I then have the option to interchange its outfits.
I have watched a variety of films on youtube to get a rough idea on how to make a simple styled puppet. Below are just a few.
