Why Preschoolers Love Puppets

Preschoolers see puppets as friends, not performersβ€”and that changes everything.

Preschoolers naturally connect with puppets. They see them as friends instead of performers.

Puppets encourage:

  • listening
  • language development
  • empathy
  • creativity
  • participation
  • emotional learning

That's why puppetry has been used in classrooms for decadesβ€”and why preschool teachers continue inviting Ricky Roo & Friends back year after year.
