A summary
Puppets can be powerful allies in learning outdoors. They are playful, exciting and magical. They can support the development of language, imagination, social learning and creative play. They can be used to learn about the natural world and connect creatively with it. First we will explore the benefits of puppets and some simple ways they can be introuduced into sessions. There will then be a practical session of making, with a focus on using wool and wet and needle felt methods.
About your mentors
Lauren Kinnersley
Freelance Forest School Leader
I qualified as a Forest School Leader in 2006, and completed Steiner Waldorf Teacher Training in 2012. I am interested in finding creative ways to enhance my practice with young people and enjoy incorporating singing, music making, puppets and storytelling into my work. I have a particular interest in SEND and my work includes young people who are struggling in a mainstream setting, and I also work with SEND schools. I am about to begin a Postgraduate Certificate in Therapeutic Play, to deepen my understanding and skill in supporting young people to make positive changes in their lives through the power of play.
