Puppet Theater and hand puppets are an ancient art form, dating back some 30,000 years. Puppets were used in ancient civilizations, including Ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia and Asia.
Puppets allow us to express ourselves in ways that many people could not publicly. We gladly accept outrageous behavior through the simple animation of a puppet.
Children especially respond to stimulation through puppet theater. Even the most withdrawn and shy child almost instantly becomes engaged through the fantasy world of hand puppets. Nothing lights a child's eyes up like watching puppet theater or acting out their own fantasies. Simple role playing is often the key to unlocking the reticent child's personality. |
