Hey educator!

I am glad you are here!

I hope you will enjoy this course and learn much about puppets as a teaching tool in early childhood education and care.

Puppets helped me to connect with many children, and teach important concepts, such as numeracy, literacy, sustainability and respect for Country.

I cannot imagine my teaching day without puppets, as they are versatile tools and big classroom helpers!

I started using puppets for teaching in small groups more than 20 years ago. I used them for my storytelling session in St Kilda library to support language development and literacy learning.

As a kindergarten teacher, I organised a puppet show every day after our afternoon tea and it became our tradition. I have organised a lot of workshops on puppetry for my vocational education students, where we learned the basics of using puppets and made a lot of puppets from loose parts. As a relief teacher, I bring puppets as part of my relief teacher pack. This course is the result of years of experience working with children and using puppets as my teaching tool.

This course will guide you in using puppets as a valuable tool for teaching and engaging young children in early childhood education and care environments.

This course aims to provide educators with the skills to effectively use puppets as dynamic teaching tools in early childhood education and care settings. Through practical demonstrations and interactive content, you will learn how to start using puppets and integrate puppetry into your daily programs to enhance learning and engagement among young learners.

You will discover many ways to foster positive learning experiences, such as teaching social skills, supporting self-regulation, developing conflict-resolution skills, and improving vocabulary, etc.

Why do you need this course?

By the end of this course, you'll learn how to choose the right puppets, make your own, and use them to support children's social learning, resolve conflicts, and guide behaviour. You'll also gain strategies for using puppets to help children with language difficulties, and bilingual learners, and foster inclusion in your classroom. This course will equip you with practical tools to make puppetry a powerful, inclusive tool for teaching and learning. Your program will never be the same.
