Children confide in puppets, knowing that every secret is safe, nothing is judged and they only speak when spoken to.

Children listen to puppets when they may tune out an adult who is trying to convey a message. Puppets give an opportunity to role play and work out inner feelings that young boys and girls may be unable to verbalize.

They absorb every word puppets say to them and learn from the stories in these twenty scripts for puppet shows that address very real and important social and personal issues.

Our Potato Puppets are soft-scuplted and lifelike for helping children identify and talk about their feelings without fears of being ridiculed, teased or judged. As a 7-year old boy said, "These look like real people. Animals don't talk!"

Potato Puppets are 18" tall in assorted styles with glasses, hair, hats, and/or moustaches.

Our Potato Puppet family has sprouted little ones! Adorable new Spud Puppets are 4" tall and miniatures of their folks. These are perfect little people for little hands.
