We need a Deluxe Puppet Theater and hand puppets. These materials will increase student engagement as well as teach important play skills in a way that is fun and meaningful to our children. The children get to play with the puppets and practice what has been modeled for them.
Using puppets helps children explore their own communication skills and gives them much needed practice with role playing real situations that they may encounter in the classroom or in the real world. Puppet play is effective because it helps the teacher enter the child's imaginary world and allows children to experience the feelings of other characters (early empathy development) and learn important social behaviors conversation skills.
