Puppetools® Basics

The Art of Playful Teaching and Learning: Using Play
Language to Transform Communication with Children

Play is a powerful force in human nature, a form of energy brimming in the minds of children of all ages. This course provides parents, educators and caregivers with practical tools that engage and sustain that power through playful communication.

By applying a simple process of play-based paper media, adults can bring a limitless world of handheld ideas into learning spaces, big or small.

The result is a form of playful communication that bubbles up in the playground of the mind and takes on a life of its own. It's fun, creative, and transformative.

Mission

Moving the power of play into the lives of
children, parents, and teachers using Puppetools®
--our universal play language (UPL)

Write your awesome label here.
Puppetools® Basics is a work-of-art for educators and parents ('first teachers') that provides the first steps to make the act of communication joyful and creative --through play. If you agree that authentic teaching is an art, and that play is a universal language, then we've combined both art and play into a one-of-kind, art-propelled communication pathway--a play language.

Children love it! 💚

I am sorry that I didn't have a course like this when I started teaching. I'll never teach without a puppet again.
Karen S., Second Gr.
Another colleague came in to introduce her puppet to my class. Again, the children got their puppets out to introduce theirs in return. The kids are loving every minute of this. This has been the most enjoyable first few weeks of school I can remember!
Marylin, Second Gr
The children have developed a very strong bond with her, which is spilling over to me. I am getting hugs from students who have had a very hard time showing any emotions. The children are also aware of the change in the atmosphere of the room. They are more relaxed and in tune to each other's needs. Their journals speak of tenderness- loving gentleness, shyness.  They speak of caring and how they need her.  I must admit I took this class to fulfill a one hour requirement. How very lucky I was to need that one hour.
Pat, Third Gr.
