Storytelling Tools and Techniques

Young children benefit greatly from storytelling, both in terms of language acquisition and in terms of human contact. This section contains a wide array of resources for both beginning and advanced storytellers.

Puppets for Storytelling
Puppets are wonderful resources for interpreters interested in teaching about food chain relationships, anatomy, animal behavior, biodiversity, and life cycles. In addition, for teachers, interpreters and naturalists, puppets make excellent models for introducing behavioral traits and adaptations found in wild animals. Children naturally gravitate toward puppets and begin role playing as soon as they pick them up, making them an excellent enrichment tool for discussions, presentations and, of course, for storytelling.
