Ready to discover the unexpected magic nestled in the world of puppets and teddy bears? Join us, your favorite teacher duo, Mikey and Melissa, as we unravel how these seemingly simple tools can transform early childhood education and foster a loving classroom environment. We dive into the captivating world of puppetry, showcasing how an array of self-made characters can teach children about respect, boundaries, and what 'rough play' entails. Our puppet characters, each adorned with a unique voice, provide immersive narratives that hook children and keep them actively engaged.

The adventure doesn't stop there! We also explore the charm of implementing stuffed bears in the classroom. These soft companions, beloved by children, are not just toys but powerful tools that instill lessons about sharing, friendship, and respect. From the exciting passing out ceremony to how these teddy bears become an integral part of morning meetings, we've got the insider scoop. We round off our discussion by explaining how giving a unique name to each teddy bear and puppet can be a gateway for children to express their individuality and enhance learning. Brace yourself for an episode brimming with laughter, lively interactions, and golden nuggets of wisdom about early childhood education you won't want to miss.
