Last week I brought in my felt puppets to recreate the story 'Pania of the Reef'. The children already knew the legend of Pania and quickly became interested and absorbed in what was happening in the puppet story. Puppet stories are used to capture children's imagination and inspire creative thinking in ways that foster intellectual, emotional and creative growth. The children really enjoyed this experience and have already started to plan new stories to recreate. Next on the list are 'The Three Little Pigs', 'Three Billy Goats Gruff' and 'Sleeping Beauty'.
