New Years Dragon Puppet Challenge How can we make copper-tape circuits fun again in the New Year?

Supplies Available: Puppet Cardboard scraps Popsicle sticks Colorful paper Ribbons, pom poms, other colorful trim Scissors and cardboard cutters

Circuit Copper tape LED lights Coin cell batteries Copper wire Tacks Paperclips

Challenge: Make a puppet that glows only while you hold it! Switches make LED light projects last longer. What is a simple way to add a circuit with a switch to a Chinese New Year Dragon puppet so that the dragon puppet only lights up when you are holding it? Check out the example projects for some ideas on how to make a basic popsicle stick puppet. The back of this sheet has one example of a copper tape circuit with a switch. This is the same circuit used on the example puppet. What are some other ideas?
