KUMQUATS-Newsletter

Kindergarten

Kumquats love the kindergarten. It is one of their sweet spots and you can use them in many different ways:

start a group session
easy way to connect to the children
to solace (minor injuries, personal problems)
role plays
as a birthday surprise (puppet appears only to celebrate a birthday with the kids)

The Kumquats-puppets help to develop creativity and free speech. They also support kindergarten teachers conveying specific topics as the puppets are part of the group. It makes the subject thaught more accessible to them. As the puppets are bigger than usual handpuppets it is easier for the kids to relate to the puppet.
