Play with Puppets and Practice Storytelling

Puppets are magic. Puppetry tells stories, refines storytelling skills, and amuses and delights the child in all of us. I've always loved puppets. They come in all stripes and colors. There are sock puppets, cloth puppets, wooden head puppets, stringed puppets, hand puppets and even finger puppets.

Puppets are small, large, gangly, and dangley. They are old men, crazy ladies, yellow-haired boys and Rapunzel-like girls. They are butterflies, crabs, horses, and dinosaurs. Everything we have in the real world can be found in the puppet world. Here are a few puppets and books I've recently found for children.

    Are puppets great toys or things that belong in a horror movie?

    Yes, puppets are terrific for kids and fun even for adults.

    Not really. I don't think they offer anything special and I don't particularly care for them.
