Play and Connect: Empowering Connections Through Puppets

A Journey of Discovery and Impact in Child Engagement

Integrating a puppet into my interactions transformed not only how I engage with children, but also how I view our communication potential. I began with a simple question: could a puppet lower barriers for children, encouraging them to open up about their thoughts and feelings?

Yes, it could—and it did.

The puppet became a key to unlock a world of openness with children, facilitating exchanges that were less forthcoming with adults. Yet, the initial fascination dwindled over time, leading me to delve deeper into how I could maintain their interest and continue to harness the puppet’s potential.

Helen Meurs

About Your Instructor: Hello, I’m Helen Meurs, and I've dedicated years to exploring how puppets can transform our interactions with children. I've merged my passion for education with the magic of puppetry to help children express themselves and adults to understand them better. My journey began from a simple yet profound realization that children could engage more deeply through the medium of play and a puppet friend. I've written extensively on this topic and continuously seek new ways to enrich our connections with the younger generation. Through Play and Connect, I aim to share this innovative approach with educators, parents, and counselors worldwide, empowering them to build stronger, more meaningful relationships with children.

Join me in discovering how a puppet can become not just a tool, but a gamechanger in your hands.

Together, let’s make a lasting difference
