They love it. However, it is amazing to see how the older kids also react (our school goes up to 7th).....they smile, wave, and generally like what they see, whether it is my Big Bird, or Cookie, or my tiger, etc. Kids respond to puppets. lol....the question is why aren't teachers using it more in their teaching? Ahhhhhhhhh,,, the answer is : standards and fear. "They take to long to make." "I don't know how. " "Puppets are for little kids." ver batim, and other lame excuses.
