Therapists working with young children use puppets in play therapy. Shy children will often express themselves through a character, in ways they avoid in direct conversation. Life problems can be acted out and possible solutions explored with puppet characters. Small children may lack the vocabulary to explain their fears or worries. Play therapy lets them act out their concerns.
Art and drama schools encourage creativity with puppet shows. Kids can develop scripts from their own real life experiences. They can write fantasies and super hero stories, or choose characters to fit a preselected script. Imagination is always required to match marionettes to character roles, decide on voices for their characters, and develop the sound effects.
Fun shows can be educational telling stories about life events and how to handle problems. Just like Sesame Street, puppets can be used to practice counting and reading skills. Songs and rhymes can be practiced and memorized with audience participation. Nursery rhymes, fairy tales, and favorite books come to life on the stage.
You don't have to be a professional to put on a fun and entertaining show. You do need to practice. Actors must choose voices for their marionettes, and coordinate action on the stage. Professionals spend many hours studying and practicing diction, voice projection, body movement. It takes great skill to coordinate movements, voices, and sound effects. Professionals sometimes choose marionettes with remote controlled animatronics.
Puppets have been used around the world for thousands of years, sometimes as entertainment, sometimes in traditional rituals and ceremonies. The oldest known references to puppetry are 2000 years old from both India and Asia. Wire controlled marionettes have been unearthed in Egyptian tombs. African tribal groups used hand controlled figurines for magic, ritual, drama, and storytelling.
Marionettes were used to perform plays for the common man as far back as the 5th century. They were a cheaper form of entertainment than live acting. Punch and Judy shows were a traveling form of entertainment in 16th century England. In Munich, Germany, puppets performed classical opera.
Marionettes are popular today with adult audiences. Comedians used them to explore and satirize current events, political debates, and cultural clashes. Puppetry also remains a popular form of education for children, on TV and on the stage. Kids learn the alphabet, counting, and reading. They learn memorization and vocabulary from nursery rhymes and songs. Kids just naturally use their imaginations when given the chance to produce and/or participate in a show.
Marionettes can be people, animals, creatures, cartoon characters, or superheroes. They can be everyday folk, or kings and queens. Bring life events, current events, stories, fairy tales, and nursery rhymes to life with handmade full body puppets for sale. Explore the full range of human emotion with marionettes. They can be happy or sad, mean or kind, scared or brave.
