Learning benefits
- 💡 Retelling stories helps toddlers build their memory and understanding of story structure. Using puppets adds a fun, interactive element that encourages imaginative play and boosts their vocabulary as they practice new words and phrases. It also strengthens emotional bonds between caregiver and child through shared imaginative play.
Safety notes
- ⚠️ Always ensure all materials, especially puppets, are free of small parts that could be choking hazards for toddlers. Supervise your child closely during play. • Remember, this activity is about connection and development, not screen time. Avoid using digital devices. • Keep a close eye on your child to prevent any risk of falling or tripping on the improvized stage. • Ensure all play items are non-toxic.
Cleanup
- 🧹 Put the puppets and book back on their shelf. Fold the blanket and put it away.
