Using puppets as an engaging teaching resource

Learning with Puppets

Puppets can foster learning in a myriad of ways. They can bolster oral language skills, build skills in creative storytelling, or be used by an adult as a tool for promoting learning in specific areas - such as for developing social skills. Learning can be fun and highly engaging for children when a puppet becomes a teacher or helper alongside an adult. In fact, their use is only limited by your imagination!
