Kindergarten Cupboard as a Puppet Theatre

Tema ovog završnog rada je lutkarstvo u vrtićkom ormaru. Kroz rad ću približiti pojam lutkarstva, osnova lutkarstva, scenske lutke, vrste scenskih lutaka. Lutkarstvo u dječjem vrtiću bitan je element dječje igre, ali i rada odgojitelja. Primjena scenske lutke u dječjem vrtiću ovisi o odgojitelju. Koliko je odgojitelja, toliko je i načina primjene lutke u odgojno-obrazovnom radu s djecom. Scenskom lutkom kod djece potičemo učenje, razvoj kreativnosti, govora, empatije, socijalizaciju. Lutka može biti pomoćnik odgojitelju. Tjedni plan i program dječjeg vrtića, lutkarstvo može proširiti i ponuditi djeci slobodu kreativnog izražavanja. Uloga lutkarstva u djetetovom učenju je višestruka. Odgojitelj mora sam shvaćati važnost uvođenja lutke u rad s djecom te namijeniti lutkarsku igru djeci. Stimulativno, raznoliko i dobro strukturirano okruženje vrtića zahtijeva od odgojitelja dodavanje i obogaćivanje centara aktivnosti. U idealnim uvjetima odgojne skupine, odgojitelj ima „ormar“ u kojem su spremljeni svi rekviziti potrebni za lutkarsku igru djeteta: lutke, paravan, neoblikovani materijali, itd. Zadatak odgojitelja je da koristi lutku i da ju predlaže djeci. Odgojitelj tako njeguje različiti odnos prema scenskoj lutki i lutki-igrački, odnos odgojitelj-lutka i dijete-lutka.The topic of this final paper is puppetry in the kindergarten closet. Through my work, I will introduce the concept of puppetry, the basics of puppetry, stage puppets and types of stage puppets. Puppetry in kindergarten is an important element of children's play, but also the work of educators. The use of a stage puppet in a kindergarten depends on the educator. There are as many educators as there are ways to use a puppet in educational work with children. With a stage puppet we encouragechildren’s learning, development of creativity, speech, empathy, socialization. A puppet can be an educator’s assistant. Kindergarten's weekly curriculum can expand puppetry and offer children the freedom to express themselves creatively. The role of puppetry in a child’s learning is positive on multiple ways. The educator must understand the importance of introducing the puppet to work with children and dedicate puppetry to children. The stimulating, diverse and well-structured environment of the kindergarten requires educators to add and enrich activity centers. In the ideal conditions of the educational group, the educator has a "closet" in which all the props necessary for the child's puppet play are stored: puppets, a cover, unshaped materials, etc.. The task of the educator is to use the puppet and to suggest it to the children. In this way, the educator nurtures a different relationship to the stage puppet and the toy puppet along with the educator-puppet relationship and the child-puppet relationship
