My Project

Young students LOVE puppets! Puppets aren't just used for entertainment even though they have always fascinated children.

The benefits of puppet play include helping children learn various academic and social skills.

Studies have proved that puppets are very effective aids for fostering cooperation, enhancing creativity, and improving communication in elementary students. I have been very blessed to receive some amazing puppets but currently I don't have a great way to make them visual for the students to see what there is. These puppet Trees will organize the puppets and make all of them seen. In addition, I have added a few we don't currently have. Who doesn't love Disney and learning about Emotions through fun hand puppets.

Thank you for supporting arts in education!
