PUPPET-SHOWS ARE INEXHAUSTIBLE SOURCE OF CHILDREN’S CREATIVITY
Meri Šimunov
Abstract
Puppet –shows represent a source and challenge for every creative educator and for every child. In order for them to truly become such children should be aware of what they listen, that is, what they watch, they should develop their curiosity and creative thinking and they should be discreetly encouraged to an expression of their own.
Students of preschool education have acquired certain knowledge in the field of puppetry and performing arts which was applied during their practice in nursery-schools.
The puppet was an excellent medium through which they directed children to adopt certain educational contents and encouraged them to various forms of creativity.
Puppets and puppet-shows, as a means of children’s motivation for an activity, have become sources of children's creativity. It is for this reason that this paper was written.
