Hello, I’m Nadia, the creator behind Bluebirds and Blackberries. This journey all started when I was studying King Lear a few years ago. We couldn’t find any puppets to keep track of all the characters, so I decided to create my own.

Profits from my Shakespeare puppets go towards my dance training. My dream is to be a professional ballerina, and the training I need to get there is very expensive. By purchasing puppets, you not only get a helpful and whimsical way to act out the plays, but you’re also supporting my dream.

FAQ's

Can I use these puppets with my co-op?

Yes! You can purchase a discounted co-op set to print up to 7 copies, or buy a regular set and print just one copy.

Do I need a colour printer?

Nope! I created the colouring sheet puppets sets for families who don't have a colour printer or would prefer to colour in the puppets themselves!

What printer settings should I use?

Make sure your printer is set to single sided and use cardstock so that your puppets are sturdy!

What if you don't have the play I am doing?

Message me on Instagram or email me which play you would like a set for and I will work on creating it!
