What does come to mind when you hear the
word Puppetry............
- String puppets
- Marionettes
- Glove puppets
- Hand puppets
- Finger puppets
- Cone puppets
- Puppet Theater
- Puppet Show
- laughter.......................
- sadness.........
- anxiety...
Do you think it is a good way of someone expressing himself...?
Put yourself in a child's situation....
- perhaps you are not a child who finds it very easy to express yourself.....
- not comfortable talking to your parents or siblings....
- not very self confident.....
- not very talkative....
Puppets.....hmmmmm! Now I think there is an answer for the above...
- puppets are a great medium for kids to express their feelings...
- if a child has a problem...more than likely if he has a puppet he will use puppet to say what he is feeling inside!
- kids with learning difficulties such as speech problem & other---respond well to puppets
- language skills
- can help with behavior problems
- social problems
- story telling
Last but not least Puppets are a lot of fun...anyone can be a child again.....They are ideal for any age group...
- One can introduce them to babies by Parents take on the role of using puppets as an aid to tell stories...
- As the child grow older they can tell their stories to their dolls or teddies ...pretend play!
- they are great as group play...lots of fun and interaction!
One can have lot's of fun..at
- home
- playgroup
- birthday parties
- kinder
- child care centers
- school
- grandparent's house
Coming to think of it one can organize a theme Birthday Party...... for instance Pirate theme, Fairies theme, Wizard of Oz, Pinocchio, Little Red Riding Hood, A Royal theme
Love to hear your feelings and thoughts on this....

Hi Marthese,
This is a wonderful article into the insights of puppetry & how puppets can excite, engage & encourage the inner beauty & creativity of children. I myself am a huge fan of finger puppets & have on occasion enjoyed providing a finger puppet show for my 11 month old. She is just fascinated by the whole experience. And you are right, they are ideal for any age group lol. Thanks for the post. ♥
Thank you Maria...for your input!
Hi there, my son is getting one like this for his birthday this weekend. I'm sure my daughter would love one too. I love old fashion classic toys.

These are gorgeous. My four year old is always pretending her fingers are characters and playing with them talking and doing things. Would be wonderful to actually pop some finger puppets on her fingers to make her make believe world more believable!
Oh how much fun could i have with a fantastic puppet... not to mention how much fun the kids could have. Gives me lovely memories of punch and judy puppet shows when i was a little girl (oh does that give away my age even just a little lol)
Thanks to 7cherubs for the link to here... now to convince hubby about the purchases i want to make :)

Seven Cherubs sent me, and I am so glad she did!! Wow what amazing products! It's so good to see the old fashion puppets we all grew up with *handed down from generation granma's!* Such inspirational play compared to the ever growing plastic toy industries!! Got my wishlist ready and sending the link off to my parents (to buy for my childrn!!) Thank ou!
oh i never feel bad about my age, i have just refused to turn 30 yet... (although technically i was last year!)
Thank you @facebook-513559379:disqus for stopping by...I have to say I agree with you 100% on the "ever growing plastic toy industry", it is so nice to touch and feel natural materials rather than synthetic ones..and these puppets are truly gorgeous!

You have a fair bit to catch up with me....but I have to say I am quite comfortable where I am at this stage of my life:)
Someone scared my son with a puppet when he was smaller, so after a lot of confidence building and play with puppets, he has since fallen in love with them.
I just showed him the photo's of your delightful puppets, and he noticed the pirate and said 'Argh.!! WOW.!!'. I think he's a fan, haha.
Stopping by from Seven Cherubs :) :)

Yes it is a shame when that happens @9873b4f3f6c0bfb4c517dcd75b50d595:disqus , you have to somehow find away of introducing them in a fun way...which looks like you did. Thank you for stopping by and good luck :)
Also visiting via Seven Cherubs. My 7yo son loves puppets. Yours are truly delightful! As a Mum to kids with special needs, I can attest to the value of puppets, they can truly make a huge difference to the way they learn things that society views as being 'the norm'. Thank you for sharing your beautiful products.
I am glad you agree that puppets can play a big role in children development...Thank you for stopping by and your lovely comments.Do not forget to leave a comment on Seven Cherubs as well :) Michelle Bowley

Visiting via Seven Cherubs. I've always wanted a marionette :-) My sons love playing with hand puppets at the moment (they are 3 1/2 and 14 months) but I hope to one day introduce them to marionettes. Thanks for a wonderful giveaway.
Visiting via Seven Cherubs. I'd love to win a puppet for my girls :)
I love puppets and so does our eldest daughter. She thinks it is great to put on a voice and the puppet have a chat with her. We don't have a marionette only hand and finger puppets but she would be fascinated by a marionette. She loves playing with puppets and toys and it helps build her confidence with talking and people talking to each other. Puppets and marionettes I agree are a great way to express emotions and for role play.
Visiting via Seven Cherubs. Wow, these are so beautiful. My three amigos love to play with their finger puppets and I could just imagine how much fun they would have with a marionette. I most certainly think one of these beautiful toys will be finding their way onto our list to Father Christmas!
I'm visiting via 7Cherubs. What a gorgeous range of Puppets, I find them very interesting and I'm sure my son would love playing with one! Thanks for the giveaway :)

Your beautiful puppets bring back such wonderful memories of a marionette I had as a young girl of 7. They are such a great way for children to express themselves. I am visiting from the lovely Seven Cherubs and I have 8 and 6 year old girls who would love a puppet to play with. Thank you so much!

Puppets are the old fashioned interactive toy! A great way to play pretend. I remember theatres made out of big cardboard boxes.
Hi wendyhatton , thank you for stopping by...I still think the cardboard boxes, can make great puppet theaters, they are great fun to do...can be a great holiday activity. Good luck and hope to be of service to you in the near future.

Saw your great Puppets on Seven Cherubs and i liked all of them.Now i feel that puppets can be a very nice birthday gift for a child and at the same time it can help to improve child's hand eye coordination.
These will be great for imaginative play.

I agree completely of the value of puppets to children and use them a lot as a teacher. I find them invaluable in getting some of my quieter students to open up, practice their oral language and retelling skills, and helping them to share their feelings. Super!
(I saw your puppets on Seven Cherubs).
Hi Cathy , I am glad you can see the value behind puppets, couldn't agree more with what you said...good luck!
