Introduction

In a world full of digital tools, the charm of a simple story or hand puppet still captures the attention of every child. Why? Because storytelling connects deeply with a child’s imagination — it teaches, entertains, and creates lasting emotional connections.

Why It Works

Stories and puppets make abstract concepts easier to understand. Whether it’s teaching numbers, emotions, or values, stories provide context and characters that young children relate to and remember.

What We Teach Educators

In our hands-on training modules, we guide teachers in:

  • Crafting age-appropriate stories
  • Using voice modulation and expressions
  • Creating and handling puppets
  • Linking stories to curriculum goals
  • Encouraging student participation through story-based activities

These sessions are among the most loved by teachers — and their students!

Success Stories

In Happy Days School, Madhya Pradesh, teachers began integrating story circles into their weekly schedules. The results? Increased student attentiveness, creativity, and even improved vocabulary — all through simple stories and puppets.

Conclusion

Storytelling is more than entertainment — it’s a powerful educational strategy. When used with purpose, it can build vocabulary, boost comprehension, and bring classrooms to life. With puppets as companions, learning becomes a magical experience.
