Storytelling Songs : Goldilocks and the Three Bears Puppet Show

January 19, 2022 By Sara Mullett 5 Comments

Storytelling with a homemade puppet show is such a creative and engaging activity for kids. It’s packed with educational benefits and even better when you have a song to go with the story.

A puppet theatre gives children endless opportunity to get involved and let their imaginations go. Telling stories is such a fantastic way to develop early language and literacy skills. With the added bonus of being a fun and cheap way to entertain children too!
