About the Nature Edu-Puppetry
method
In a magical blend of nature and imagination,
children create tiny worlds from simple natural materials found just outside their doorsteps.
These miniature landscapes serve as more than play spaces, they are sanctuaries where children can express their deepest feelings and thoughts, and engage in self-discovery.
Through this creative process, they connect deeply with the environment and learn about themselves in profound ways.
Each creation not only reveals their inner worlds but also helps them understand and articulate their emotions, hopes, and dreams, fostering a deeper connection with themselves
and the world around them.

I will also recommend research tools and where to get them to deepen our wonder and curiosity about the nature surrounding us. |  Tell a Nature StoryWe will learn how to tell stories and deepen mutual play and creation. How do you tell a colorful and intriguing story to enrich the experience in nature, develop imagination, and verbal abilities and build a narrative. |  Wanders in The real world outsideWe will go outside to explore our nearby surroundings, draw maps of natural treasures, and discover secret places where we can play, create, and collect materials. In this session, I will recommend additional activities we could do nearby to learn about the real world. |
Why puppetry in nature?
Making puppets and characters outdoors creates an emotional bonding that enhances the experience of being in nature and its wonder, and connects us to our surroundings through play, curiosity, imagination, and a story
