| Forest Friends |
|
Description:
A developmental puppet program designed to help Kindergarten children learn basic life skills they will be able to use throughout their entire life. There are six 15-20 minute stories; two are presented at each session over a 3 week period. The stories build on one another so that each new story teaches a lesson while reinforcing the previous one. When furry role models learn how to make decisions and find their inner beauty, the children are inspired to do the same. After each story, the children are engaged in a discussion and activity which encourages them to practice their newly acquired skills.

| Prehistoric Pals |
|
Description:
A prevention program designed to provide young children with the necessary skills to express and deal successfully with feeling of anger and rage. Eight prehistoric puppets offer the audience some positive alternatives to violence that are practical and easy to understand. As the children identify with the characters, they see their friends finding peaceful solutions to everyday problems. They witness a world where reasoning works and kindness prevails. After each session, the audience is encouraged to participate in a related activity designed to reinforce the value presented.
"Forest Friends and Prehistoric Pals are always well organized. The children really enjoy the puppets and stories. In addition to the present comprehensive guidance curricula, I have found supplementing these two excellent designed programs into the school benefits all involved; students, families, and the school community at large."
