This book encourages parents and educators to create puppets themselves and perform small plays for children through many practical instructions, photos, and educational tips. The open play style of table theater allows the child to observe every action – as well as the performer – and feel involved. Freya Jaffke provides tips and guidance on setting up play scenes with cloths and simple props, creating various types of puppets, as well as performance practices, and offers examples of suitable fairy tales and stories.
