Using Puppets to Build Language Skills

Did you know that playing with puppets is a great educational activity?  Your child can build skills in a variety of areas!  As a speech language pathologist, my favorite area is using puppets to build language skills! Puppets offer children an engaging way to interact and explore their knowledge and understanding of the world.  During puppet play children use language to have conversations and to role play developing their skills in this area!
