Preschool for puppets

The use of puppets in the classroom can enhance learning and foster a fun atmosphere. Puppets are beloved by children, and their physical presence may inspire and engage them in a variety of educational possibilities. Additionally, puppets give teachers the chance to better understand the requirements of their children. A three-way conversation that involves a puppet between a youngster and an adult can be less confronting for the child because it doesn't need them to speak directly to the adult.

Teachers can ask the puppet at the start of the school year about how it feels about entering school, as well as about its interests and preferred and least preferred times of the day. Children may be able to identify with the puppet and be more eager to express their opinions if they are given this permission. Children can converse with adults and other kids about other school-related topics, such as tests, coming back after breaks, or other important events, using the puppet as a voice. The puppet's power in this scenario is that it creates a barrier or sense of safety because it is the puppet speaking, not the child. Educators can gain insight into the children in their care.
