Although puppetry has been around for many years and used very effectively as a teaching medium(proven resoundingly by Sesame Street), you may not be aware of the types of puppets that are available and their use in your children's ministry. One of the lastest forms of puppetry to hit the scene is digital puppetry, puppetry that interacts with the children. Check out www.powerpuppets.com
As Dean Wlison, director and producer of the PowerPuppets says, 'Imagine, for example, a puppet on screen welcoming first time visitors, calling them by name and commenting on their Saints’ jersey or their sweet Adidas tennis shoes. As a teacher I no longer have to be behind a curtain or stage, but I can be where I can see the kids and interact with them. Now, I’ve got their full attention and can drive home the points of the lesson, lead them in scripture memorization or just play a game with them.
