It's important keep kids occupied, engaged, and learning over summer vacation. One great and easy way to do that is to give them a couple of puppets. Just hand them over and watch what happens. You'll be surprised just how quickly kids will name the puppets and begin plotting all sorts of stories and adventures. Your children might enjoy just talking with their new friend, or they might put together their own puppet show for you!

I like the puppets from Silly Puppets. They've got friendly, expressive faces, soft bodies, and come in a variety of skin colors including blue and orange. They remind me of the characters on Sesame Street or The Muppet Show. Start your kids off with a 14" Glove Puppet. These puppets are easy for small, inexperienced hands to manipulate. Plus they're under $20, which is a great deal.

You don't even need a puppet theater for starters. Your kids can make one with a big cardboard box or even a craft table covered with a sheet. Of course, if you do want a special place for your children's productions, All Children's Furniture offers a wide selection of theaters that vary in style and price.

Be prepared for those inevitable rainy days this summer! With just a handful of puppets your kids will be guaranteed hours of creative fun. Take a look at our wide selection of Theatrical Play products at All Children's Furniture!
