Puppets as a teaching tool provide teachers with one of the most economical aids in the classroom. The benefits of puppets are many. They allow children to escape to an imaginary world. They can use puppets to solve their own emotional problems. They can be used throughout the curriculum in projects and crafts. Children learn to cooperate when they work in a small group to produce their own puppet game. There are many opportunities to sequence, organize, verbalize, classify information and gain self-confidence. The main objectives of the extensive research on which this article is based were to investigate the effects of mediation with a puppet on: (a) the teaching strategies of teachers; (b) children's motivation in learning and; (c) literacy achievements among children in kindergarten (d) to assess the usefulness of the puppet as a mediation tool from the teachers' perspective. In addition to the theoretical aspects, this research has an applicable contribution for educators as an alternative way to enhance their mediation and strengthen their sense of competence and inclusion in teaching. The integration of a puppet into the work of the kindergarten teacher can help connect with children, encourage their verbal expression, decrease their feelings of stress and anxiety and create a sense of pleasure and fun.
