Primarily these will be used for my early childhood group learning Theatre Arts. These 3-6 year olds in Harlem will be learning to express themselves through performing arts. Puppets allow students to admit to feelings that they may hide otherwise. They allow people (even little ones) to try things that ordinarily they would be scared. While there are many ways to puppets in Theatre Arts, they can be used for other activities as well including meditation. Breathing Buddies is a system where young people lay down with a Stuffed animal or plushie of any sort on their chest and just watch it as they breathe. This allows them to focus on and control their breathing. That is a valuable skill in many situations where they may have an elevated heart rate (arguments, not getting their way, being flustered, etc.). I know this would be an asset for my programs and the children would be immensely appreciative. They love to express themselves creatively. One of my girls said she would use puppets to make someone feel happy. Another student said he would enjoy playing with them. Please help us out!
