Puppets!

"I love your puppets! They are so beautiful. I love how there is a song for every puppet you offer but when I use your puppets, its not as engaging as when you use your puppets! What am I missing?" I recently heard this from a teacher who attended my session at NAEYC. There are little subtle things you can do that make a very big difference! I have just added an article and video lesson on using puppets in your classroom in downloads at lynnkleinersmusicbox.com. This is a free download for members. I hope you can use the tips. I love seeing the difference puppets make in participation. I have seen children who have never sang in class sing when it comes to feeding the Donkey puppet (see the video) or making the baby owl fly. I enjoy hearing how it has helped your teaching. I had a speech therapist tell me how she loves using our cow puppet because of the moving tongue. Another told me she had a student with a terrible stuttering problem but when he used a puppet, his speech was fine. Please share more!

Diane Mellott hi all! As the worm in the apple is no longer available I made a large apple from stiff red felt from Michaels and Wiggly from the control top part of a pair of panty hose. Just cut a small section, sew it up to fit your finger, colour it green with a pe... more
