Abstract

In the curriculum for kindergartens art is a very rich area. This is because art gives children an opportunity to express themselves and to communicate. In the theoretical part I summarised an essentiel features of the theater in the past and present. After that I explained the puppet"s origins and its educational value. The theoretical part summarises the essential features of the theater in the past and present. It focuses on the beginner of the Slovenian puppetry and on the puppetry in Dolenjska. After that it defines the puppet's origins and its educational value. Since puppets can be found evrywhere I connected them with practice. In the practical part with various interactions I implemented a puppet Max in a group and it soon became a pet. The children created a variety of scenes and dialogue for the puppet theatre. The game also included various types of puppets and puppet techniques. The active creative process with puppets was held daily in the group of nineteen children aged three to four years. It has shown that puppets can be successfully included in group and individual work in the group. The thesis presents a direct experience of achieving the objectives of the kindergarten curriculum in all areas. It confirmes that the use of puppets affects child's overall development especially in the imagination and self-creation. the inclusion of the puppets has significantly contributed to the child's creativity in the art field. Children, through thrir own artistic activities with pupprts,have learned new things, words, concepts much faster and thus expanded their experiental treasure.
