School programs are a comprehensive arts and social experience brought to your students. Teachers find puppetry to be a powerful tool for addressing topics such as bullying or for inspiring inter-cultural tolerance. Puppetry provides a safe vehicle for role-playing sensitive topics. Not requiring memorization, the process is socially equalizing for students of differing abilities.

Teachers are invited to enter their classes into our story writing contests. Fourth graders and up are invited to write and submit a story, together as a class or individually. The theme can be a fairy tale or content out of your curricular or social skills material. The winning story is adapted by us for a puppet show, and the winning class produces the performance for their schoolmates. 

Our Hands-on History programs bring a historical period to life through the vehicle of puppetry and fiber arts. Teachers choose an aspect of historical significance related to their curriculum and we create a program to support your educational goals. This includes hands-on exploration of period fiber processing tools. Students especially love the opportunity to treadle the spinning wheel!
