Melissa & Doug® Puppets

Melissa & Doug Puppets for Child Programs at the Office

Melissa and Doug puppets engage kids in your business setting, whether they are patients, waiting with parents, or attending programming. Use the puppets to make kid-friendly presentations related to your business, or set up a puppet play area in the waiting room. Whether just for fun or as an educational tool, puppets come in handy when kids have a role in your business.

Puppet Free Play

Have lots of kids in your waiting room? Set up a play corner complete with a puppet theater and puppets. When the kids play happily, their waiting parents are more relaxed and your staff doesn't have to deal with cranky kids running around the work area. If your office has an on-site day care facility for employees' children, puppets make a fun addition to the center's toy collection. Put the puppets in a dramatic play area so the day care staff has another tool for entertaining and teaching the kids in their care.

Puppets as an Educational Tool

Puppets give staff a kid-friendly way to present information. Give your educational outreach staff a set of puppets to use when they develop child-centered programming.

Puppet Therapy

Therapy for kids often uses puppets to help kids open up and feel at ease. Kids can express something they're feeling or something that happened to them by acting it out with the puppet. In a medical setting, a puppet can help a child who feels anxious about a procedure. Use a puppet dressed like a surgeon to explain a surgery the child is having, or let a child play with puppets to relax before the procedure. Your staff is able to better perform their medical duties when their littlest patients are relaxed.
