In early childhood, sticky situations happen every day. A toy won’t work the way a child expected. A zipper gets stuck. A block tower falls for the third time. Big feelings show up fast—and little bodies don’t yet have the tools to know what to do next.

When it comes to supporting preschoolers in developing big social emotional learning skills, sometimes the simplest tools have the biggest impact. Puppets are more than just playful props—they're powerful tools for connection, communication, and confidence-building in early childhood settings.
