This simple theater sets the stage for hours of backyard fun.
| Prep Time: About 2 to 3 hours | |
| What you need: | |
| 2 (6-foot) lengths of polypropylene clothesline
3 old sheets Paint Clothespins Dozen 1 1/4-inch binder clips | |
| Seasons: Spring, Summer | |
| Materials: clothesline | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. | String up two parallel lengths of polypropylene clothesline 6 feet apart. Paint scenery on a background sheet, as we've done -- or pin on scenery cut from or painted on craft paper -- then use clothespins to attach the sheet to the line farthest from the audience. |
| 2. |  For the curtains, suspend two sheets from the front
clothesline using 1 1/4-inch binder clips hung at 1-foot
intervals. The clothesline should go through the clips'
triangular centers, allowing kids to slide the curtains open and
closed for dramatic effect. |
