Ideas to use with Children's Literature:
I love to use puppets in my classroom. They capture attention, engage children in a story, and can help to bring the story to life.
I wanted to share a few pictures of puppets I have that work well when I am reading to my students.

All of my puppets are on puppet trees. I don't want them to just lay around, and I have my puppets and the children have their own puppets. If children are allowed to play with your puppets year after year you will be purchasing new ones frequently. So as they age, allow children to play with the older puppets in centers. The eye puppet at the top is easily transformed by your hand. The eyes can be bought online or at a party store. There are big eyes for adults and small eyes for little hands. Then you simply put a hair scrunchie around your hand for hair.
Have fun, if you haven't tried using puppets try it one time, You'll be hooked :)
