Goal of this thesis is to represent puppet - it's origin, history of the puppet, way of it's use, it's application in work with children, relationship between child and puppet, and in what way educator is approaching child with the puppet in academic practice. From future and current educators it's expected to develop and apply in their work knowledge from area of puppeteering and performing arts culture. During my analysis of the activity of making the puppet by children that was conducted in kindergarten Kaštanjer I concluded that there really is connection between child and a puppet. By making their own puppet, children put into it their own wishes, thoughts and imagination, and it became their own reflection and by looking into the puppet I could see the child and its own personality. Through my voyage of discovering the influence of the puppet I have found out that it is special and precious tool in educator's hand by which we mold child's character and imagination, we expand child's world, and we raise moral and progress in every area of child's growth.
