Children's puppetry made of natural materials

Lutka potiče djecu na likovno, dramsko, glazbeno i govorno stvaralaštvo i pridonosi razvoju mašte i intelekta. Iako primijenjeno lutkarstvo kao termin u Hrvatskoj još nije u potpunosti zaživjelo i ne obuhvaća široko područje, u predškolskom odgoju je vrlo zastupljeno. Scenska lutka odgojitelju služi kao moćno sredstvo u odgojno-obrazovnom radu. Suvremeni odgojitelj zauzima različite uloge i na taj način, kroz lutku, sasvim nenametljivo dopire do djece. Kako je boravak na zraku vrlo važan segment dječjeg cjelokupnog razvoja, ovaj rad spaja dječju potrebu za boravkom u prirodi s kreativnim i umjetničkim izražavanjem kroz stvaralačke aktivnosti izrade lutaka od prirodnih materijala koji se nalazi u djetetovom okruženju.A puppet encourages children to create art, drama, music, speech and contributes to the development of imagination and intellect. Although applied puppetry as a term in Croatia has not yet fully taken root and does not cover a wide area, it is very common in preschool education. The stage puppet serves the educator as a powerful tool in educational work. The modern educator takes on different roles and in this way, through the puppet, he reaches the children quite unobtrusively. As being outdoors is a very important segment of children's overall development, this paper combines children's need to stay in nature with creative and artistic expression through creative activities of making dolls from natural materials found in the child's environment
