When an adult enters a room full of children attending a function of puppets, you will be surprised at the power that this art exerts on the little ones. Puppets and children talk about you to you. A child does not remain immobile before a hen chased by a wolf, participates, shouts, warns, interacts with the play being he also a protagonist.
Puppet shows bring the child closer to the world of theater. They stimulate attention span, understanding through stories that are told in a simple way, with music, with colors, with dances immediately creating empathy between the spectators and the small actors.
On the other hand, building and playing with puppets, in addition to stimulating creativity, opens a world for expression and communication; puppet and child will be only one, the infant will grant his own life based on his experiences. At home you can make a simple finger puppet. For this you will need:
A piece of square cloth.
Cotton
Thread
Felt pens.
Place a cotton ball on the tip of your finger and then cover it with the piece of cloth (covering the entire finger). Knot a thread just where the cotton ends (to make the head). Paint his face and make the character your child wants. You can also paint the suit. Now the function will begin!
And remember, if there are puppet shows in your city, don't hesitate to take the little ones from the house.
