My Project

Help us improve our puppet section of the Dramatic Play area in our Early Childhood Special Education preschool classroom by adding a theater and puppet stand to display the puppets for easier access.

Puppet are much more than simply play in preschool - they provide opportunities to improve speech and language skills, creativity, and social skills.

Puppets provide multiple skill building opportunities in the preschool classroom: speech and language, social and emotional, creativity, listening, motor, story telling, and sequencing.

We already have puppets in the classroom, but a theater and stand will make the experience more exciting and motivating.
