My Project

Students of all ages use pretend play to learn! After getting a few puppets for free last school year, I learned that kids from Kindergarten to 5th grade love using puppets during counseling sessions and play. Using puppets in pretend play can build student self-confidence, allows student's creativity to shine, and encourages students to communicate.

These puppets will help build student self confidence, practice conflict resolution, and develop student social skills during counseling sessions.

These puppets will be mostly used by students who have special education counseling services. General education students will have access to these items during classroom lessons, as-needed small groups, and when students need counselor support.
