Puppets in Education Programs
Virtual Presentations for the 2020-2021 School Year
Give your students the opportunity to engage with the puppets! Starting in mid-October we will offer our Anxiety/Worry Program for grades K-4 as a virtual presentation. It includes a live intro with a puppet and a person, a professionally filmed skit, and a live Q&A with a puppet at the end. In the program we normalize Worry and provide tips and tools for when it is feeling too big. For more information, click here.
