As a child, you were probably a Kermit the Frog fan or had been fascinated by how fast Cookie Monster can munch up a whole plate of cookies. Undeniably, puppets have always been and still are a major part of anyone’s childhood.
Babies and kids today are even luckier because with a wide variety of puppets and unique plush toys in the market today like those of Baby Einstein, they can be up close and personal with the characters that were once confined inside the television box.
You can put on a nice puppet show with Baby Einstein Press and Play Pals for your baby right in the comfort of your living room. All you have to do is hide behind the couch or table, showing only the plush toys on scene while your baby the spectator sits on his bouncer and watches his favourite tell a simple but wonderful story.
A great puppet show story will be how Baby Einstein Press and Play Pal Lion met the Duck and how their friendship bloomed. In your story, be sure to incorporate values such as respect and honesty. For example, Mr. Lion returns the wallet he found in the market to its rightful owner and Mrs. Duck says “thank you”. Or you can let these plush toys teach your baby the ABC or how to count up to ten. The possible puppet show topics or story ideas are endless.
To make it even more interesting, you can opt to put on music in the background. Don’t forget to add lively songs and dances that your kid will definitely love. Let the Baby Einstein characters do a round of nursery rhymes or dance to the tunes of Baby Einstein Playdate Fun Music CD. Be sure to insert some wholesome humour as most babies enjoy the funny things.
If you’re too pooped from work or the household chores to conceptualize an original story, you can always watchBaby Einstein DVD and borrow or re-enact scenes from it. You can make use of the Baby Einstein Puppet Collection which are characters based on the ones that were featured in Baby Einstein videos.
You can re-enact Green Dragon Puppet’s stint as seen in Baby Mozart Music Festival video or how the Blue Baby Einstein Goat Puppet takes your baby to an adventure through colour and art.
Puppet shows are definitely a great way to entertain your little tot as well as educate him with moral values and lessons crucial in his learning development. It is also a very fun way to interact with your baby and develop his visual and auditory perception.
Putting up a puppet show may require a lot of effort from your part and may be tedious at some point, but the smile and laughter and more importantly, the learning experience that it will impart on your child are good rewards and enough motivation to make you think of a good story line for your next puppet show.
