This paper presents the design, implementation and evaluation of a mobile app addressing creativity and learning in the field of cultural heritage. This mobile app enables the users of an existing digital storytelling platform inspired by traditional Shadow Theatre, to develop their own digital puppets in a way that incorporates the creative process of developing traditional shadow theatre puppets. ePuppet offers two main modes of editing: The first one is based on certain templates and facilitates the creation of digital puppets that have a certain structure (i.e. 2- or 4-part puppets). The second one enables users to create any kind of puppet with any number of constituent parts. The evaluation results show that the mobile app is highly usable and can effectively support the task of digital puppet creation.
