In this paper the emphasis is placed on the child in the performing art. A workshop has aslso been presented there (theme; „Child as a production designer“ from the course Puppetry and stage culture). The goal of each child’s play should be characters or puppets which can communicate with the audience. The scene must be alive an interesting for children. I consider that activities such as these should be constantly present in educational institutions because during the performance children get to know themselves, their imagination, they reveal limits in their own creativity, and they learn to respect other people`s ideas or thoughts. The accent is on the workshop in which the children from the pree-school group „Penguins“, age 3-7 participated. The way in which children work has been described, as well as the approach to their activities, the way in which they experience the scene itself and the puppet on the very scene. The educator is actually the one that for the very first time introduces the child in the world of puppetry and stage art, and who gets to know the child with the puppet as an important factor in child`s growth. In this paper I tried to explain what actually scenography is for a child and how it affects on its development as individuals, how children function during team work and how much they are actually ready to work in a group.
