The Importance of Using Mamaestra Toybook's Puppets.

The importance of using Mamaestra Toybook's puppets. It is fun for children to talk to puppets. Verbal interaction with puppets promotes the acquisition of a second language. Children who are generally shy benefit greatly from being able to let the puppet speak for them. It is also possible to have a puppet dialogue with another puppet. Here are the reasons why the Mamaestra TWO (24+) promotes learning Spanish via the Mamaestra's Toybook. Social Development. A puppet can help a shy child or a young child still learning social skills to be more sociable.  ¿Cómo te llamas? - Yo me llamo Ceci. Emotional Development. Children can learn about their emotions through puppets. With the puppets, children can interact with their happy, sad, angry, funny or jealous emotions.  Maestra, ¿Cómo estás hoy? Listening Skills. A puppet is a great tutor. When your child listens to the puppet in your hand, it can give instructions or tell a story. Children can learn rhymes and songs by imitating puppets.  Ahora vamos a bailar la canción de la Mamaestra. Motor Skills. The fine movement required to wear a puppet helps dexterity, and manipulating the puppet with your fingers improves fine motor coordination. Due to the puppet's ability to walk and move in various directions, Marionettes or String Puppets improve eye-hand coordination. As the child has great fun playing with the puppet, these skills improve balance and directionality. ¿Cómo el león? El león hace "grrrrr" (el niño simulará sus gestos y Movimiento) Building Self Confidence. Seeing how children build their self-confidence by handling puppets is really encouraging. As their self-confidence grows, they will be happy to entertain friends and family. As a result, the child begins to feel more confident to speak in front of other people with the help of the puppet friend. Muestrale a tu abuelita el doctor. (Child will be able to act as a doctor without any social fear) Creativity.  Sequencing Storytelling comes alive with puppets because puppets encourage the creation of stories. The best way to put on a puppet show is to retell favorite fairy tales. Memory skills can be improved by learning the rhyming part of the story.  -Cuéntame una historia con estos animalitos. Travel Companions. When you're on the go, packing a puppet in your travel bag or even popping one into your handbag is a wonderful way to provide entertainment. A hand or glove puppet and a storybook are all you need for some holiday travel fun.  Even when you are in the doctor’s waiting room, a puppet, and a book may be all you need to distract your child. The beauty of puppets is they are lightweight, unbreakable little entertainers and they travel well. -Hasta que venga el doctor vamos a conversar con el bombero (or use any other little puppet and create conversations) FREE TOYBOOK with 20 lessons with the Mamaestra COURSE Mamaestra Course Check our songs here
