concepts. Benefits of using puppets in child care includes:

Social skills
Confidence in reading and speaking
Music appreciation
Motor skills

Capturing attention
 How to use a puppet
Give puppets a personality

Effective eye contact with audience

The puppet’s mouth movement (if any) should sync with speech

The puppeteer should tell the children that “This is a puppet”

Speech must be clear and not too fast/slow

 Ways to Use Puppets
• Puppet Shows: to introduce new concepts to children.
• Dramatic play: act out their own scenarios and stories.
• Transitions: great tool for telling children what activity is
coming next. E.g. Wanda the Chef let the children know it's
time to clean up for snack/lunch.
• Games: Puppets can lead games with children, such as
"Simon Says" and "I-Spy."
• Reading: Children can practice reading their favorite books
to puppets, especially if they're too shy .Puppets can also
