Help us improve our puppet section of the Dramatic Play area in our Early Childhood Special Education preschool classroom by adding a theater and puppet stand to display the puppets for easier access.
Puppet are much more than simply play in preschool - they provide opportunities to improve speech and language skills, creativity, and social skills.
Puppets provide multiple skill building opportunities in the preschool classroom: speech and language, social and emotional, creativity, listening, motor, story telling, and sequencing.
We already have puppets in the classroom, but a theater and stand will make the experience more exciting and motivating.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
