Extending on our puppet play we made our own puppets. Using the hot glue gun the children created faces and costumes using a variety of materials including pompoms, eyes, ribbons, pipe cleaners and fur. We then got to learn about a new technology and sewed our puppets together using the sewing machine. Creating our own puppets was a great opportunity for the children to explore different characters and watch as their own puppets characters stories unfold.
Puppets can be used to support learning across all strands of Te Whāriki. In particular, they support the communication strand, where children discover and develop different ways to be creative and expressive.
