In this Practical workshop we will look at extracts ”From Here to There”, an international production by Tell Tale Hearts, from the UK, which uses a range of different puppetry forms. We will identify which forms are particularly beneficial to children of determination and why. We will also explore a simple puppet (an object from home) and find different ways of characterizing it to encourage meaningful participation with your child.
Task for parents: Have a go at puppeteering for your child and set up a simple scenario from the workshop. Model it a few times then leave the puppet for your child to have a go.
The Abu Dhabi Early Childhood Authority (ECA) is a government entity, based in Abu Dhabi, that supports holistic early childhood development. We do this by developing policies and laws, informing decision-making through research and transforming behavior.
