The key to any learning success is grabbing the student’s attention. And few things hook kids’ attention as completely as do puppets.

Puppets bring play-based learning, imaginative explorations and creativity to life in fun, meaningful, memorable ways.

Besides that, puppets lighten your load and brighten your day. No more begging for good listeners or chasing kids to finish assignments. With puppets in the mix, kids automatically lean in, listen up and participate in their own learning as never before! And that make your job a breeze!

Children of all ages love puppets, whether they appear on someone’s hand or on a screen. Like favorite toys, puppets are fun and funny and irresistible. They appeal to the senses as they represent a variety of colors, shapes, textures, sounds and movements. And puppet personalities are by nature playful, unpredictable, silly, loveable and wise. Who can resist?

If you are someone who cares for and about children and if you value play, imagination, creativity and positivity, then puppets are for you and they will work for you and your children.

Puppets hold universal appeal for kids. Puppets encourage communication and connection through pretend play. And play is the way children make sense of the world.

Each time you pick up a puppet, or watch a puppet video with your kids, you are participating in an ancient art that speaks to humans at the deepest levels.

Learning with Puppets focuses on informal puppet communication, not on conducting theatrical puppetry performances of any kind.

It’s easy to incorporate puppet play into an already busy day with kids! 

Each video in my library of Done-For-You Learning With Puppets Resources takes moments to present. My enchanting videos average between 3-5 minutes in length and, when accompanied by different follow-ups, can be shown again and again and used for differentiated instruction.

Or, if you prefer, you can enroll in my Do-It-Yourself Teaching with Puppets Master Class where you’ll discover the fun of developing a puppet personality that you can use to enhance whatever lesson or activity you are sharing with your children so they will be eager for more.

And remember, when kids are engaged, you save gobs of time and energy trying to get them to pay attention!

My library of Done-For-You Learning With Puppets Resources, consisting of puppet videos and companion follow-up printables are designed to help kids explore and master essential English Language Arts skills and concepts along with developing social-emotional awareness. 

My “Do-It-Yourself” Teaching with Puppets Master Class and other DIY resource materials help you easily discover the joy of developing a puppet personality that will enhance whatever lesson or activity you are sharing with your children—even the less-than-fun or difficult-to-get-through stuff.  

It’s ALL aligned with the (very serious) Common Core State Standards

Puppets can help kids learn almost anything!

Aside from core English Language Arts skills and concepts, my library of Done-For-You Learning With Puppets Resources also focuses on helping kids develop key social-emotional skills such as the ability to:
• Display self-control

• Express feelings with words
• Listen and pay attention

• Experience pride in accomplishment

• Develop a positive self-image

• Ask for help when needed

• Show affection to familiar people.

• Become aware of other people’s feelings.

If you decide to animate a puppet yourself, my Do-It-Yourself Teaching with Puppets Master Class will show how you can customize your puppet personality so you can put it to best use with your own lessons and activities, no matter your curriculum or learning goals.

Yes! My library of Done-For-You Learning With Puppets Resources consists of ready-to-go videos and follow-up resources that allow you to bring the magic of puppetry to your children without needing to pick up a puppet yourself.

As with any other approach to teaching and learning, it’s important to set parameters and expectations for appropriate behavior when using puppets with kids.

My library of Done-For-You Learning With Puppets Resources comes with suggested guidelines so you and your kids can get the full teaching and learning benefit from each one.

And, inside my Do-It-Yourself Teaching with Puppets Master Class, you’ll learn how to set the stage for positive interactions from the get-go.

I share tested ways to enthusiastically engage all of your learners–even and especially those children with learning challenges as well as those most resistant to learning.

YES! Inside my “Teaching with Puppets” book and my Do-It-Yourself Teaching with Puppets Master Class, you’ll discover easy and fun ways to alleviate much, if not all the stress that test-taking stirs up for you and them.

Sometimes others need to be educated about the benefits of using puppets with kids. Instead of waiting for any raised eyebrows or unwarranted criticism, make a point to share the good news of how puppets are benefitting your kids. Jot any puppet-related progress into a notebook and share at every opportunity.

In addition, I supply print and share resources to share with others who may question the role of puppets in education
