Puppet Theaters for Kids - Hours of Fun and Creative Play for Toddlers and Young Children

Even the youngest of children love watching the antics of puppets as they act out a scene from a favorite fairy tale – or just make up a story as they go along. But puppet theaters are not just about drama – they also serve an important educational function. Dramatic play can help young children to develop important social skills and build problem-solving abilities; puppet theatres can even serve a therapeutic purpose for young children to work out difficult issues that they are unable to verbalize for themselves.

Whether you are looking for a puppet theatre for your own kids to use at home, or you need dramatic play equipment for a daycare center or preschool, one of the theaters listed below is sure to suit your needs.

Guidecraft

Guidecraft has always had an outstanding reputation for high-quality educational toys, and with good reason. All of their kids’ products are carefully designed, with plenty of attention to detail. Guidecraft offers a few different options for puppet theaters: a tabletop model with “velvet” curtains that recalls the early days of theatrical production; a colorful modern tabletop theater, and a free-standing setup that allows kids to sit behind the stage, out of sight of viewers. All models are constructed of high-quality wood and fold for easy storage.

Alex

The Alex Floor Standing Puppet Theater is perfect for use with hand or finger puppets. Easy to assemble, it comes with a write-on “marquee” where kids can add the name of the next production and the upcoming show times; while the lightweight but sturdy Alex Play House Puppet Theater comes with a chalkboard front and doubles as both a puppet theatre and a play house.

Lisa LeLeu

The all-in-one Lisa LeLeu Super Star puppet theater has everything your kids will need to put on a hit production. This deluxe theatre is constructed with a lightweight fiberglass frame that is easy to put together and take down for easy storage. The “main stage” comes with a detailed backdrop, a backstage door, a wipe-off marquee, a ticket “window,” and plenty of other extras that make it seem just like the real thing. This theater comes with three hand puppets, admission tickets, and even a script for a play – as well as many other accessories that will help to get their creative juices flowing.
