Learn-by-Playing Character Glove Puppets are ideal teaching and communication aids for anyone working with young children or patients. The joy of hearing a story being read can be greatly enhanced when a character from the story is brought to life in the form of a puppet - used by the reader to animate the tale. Similarly, a sensitive message can be explained using the character glove puppet as an effective communication medium.Young learners like to identify with animals or fantasy characters, which makes a glove puppet an ideal medium for increasing their motivation. The teacher can use it to ask children questions or to act out simple role-plays with them.

The Value of Storytelling

There is nothing children love more than getting undivided attention, besides maybe - hearing stories, which is an ideal opportunity to forge a positive bond with them. Constructive communication gives young children a sense of security and adds to their feelings of acceptance, helps form their identity and improves their self-concept.The value of storytelling goes beyond the importation of information - it provides an effective method of transferring traditions of culture from one generation to the next. This means that not only is the nuclear family given better definition, the extended family bonds are strengthened as well and the child’s identity within the nation is being established. Storytelling evokes a natural curiosity for learning; the recurring memory of that story builds a permanent source of instruction in the heart and mind of the child.
