Puppetry is such a magical experience for kids. It gives them the opportunity to indulge in make-believe and extend their imaginations. It allows them the opportunity for self-expression and creativity and is great for devleoping their communication and social interaction skills whilst losing their inhibitions.
The puppets chosen use a variety of materials and scraps readily available. Allow the kids to let their imaginations 'run wild' creating lots of different characters with the materials you provide!
I also hope to add a puppet theatre in coming weeks for the children to make and put on a puppet show!
