Pretend Play Fun with Indoor Puppet Theaters
The air is slowly cooling off, and fall weather is fast approaching. But the end of summer doesn't have to mean the end of fun! Although your kids may not get to enjoy as much time outdoors since with fall comes shorter days and cold temperatures, you can give them plenty to do while they're stuck hibernating for the winter.
One great idea is to give them their very own puppet show with a puppet theater. Kids love puppet shows in the classroom, and they can have the same imaginative fun right at home. Better yet, now that school is in session they can use stories, experiences, and emotions from their day away from home… to have more fun while AT home.
Use a fun puppet theater like the Deluxe Edition Super Star Theater. Or, if space is an issue, you could choose a table top model like the Center Stage Table Top Puppet Theater. Kids will spend hours coming up with scripts, making up characters and performing shows for friends and family. All you need now…are the puppets!
Your child will probably want a wide range of puppet characters, depending on age. These can range from classic fairy tale characters to animals to everyday people like police officers and doctors. Most toy stores have a variety of puppets to choose from, as well as some teaching supply stores. Better still, have your kids make their own puppets!
All you need to get started is markers, socks mittens, googly eyes, and other decorations your child may want. Use them to create a whole cast of characters for his or her next production.
Imaginations will run wild!
With the Deluxe Edition Super Star Theater your whole family can get in on the action. It not only gives your kids plenty of room to put on a great show, but there is a backstage area, dressing room, ticket booth and concession stand with pockets for treats and payment! It's as close to a real theater as you can get at home, and provides plenty for kids to do to stay busy for hours!
For even more fun, instead of watching movies or TV for family night—have a puppet show instead! Let the kids create their own stories or act out favorite movies or fairy tale characters you can all enjoy. This not only encourages kids to use a lot more imagination than watching something on a screen, but it allows kids to work together toward a common goal. When you see how much fun your kids are having, you may even decide to join!
Then, all that’s left to do is pop some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy the show.
