Puppetools is a website whose mission is "to open the door to sweeping change in education by advancing the principle of play in teaching and learning." The founder of Puppetools, Jeffrey Peyton, has done much research on using puppets and play in education. The majority of homeschoolers that I know definitely agree that children learn by playing.

The site allows teachers (public school, private school, homeschool, Sunday School, etc…..) access to many types of puppets that can be downloaded and printed out for their students use. Mr. Peyton has developed a “hinged” type mouth for the puppets that is very unique. The possibilities are endless when you search through the many printables on this site.

Puppetools offers a yearly subscription for $20, or you may get a group subscription for $99 (for up to 30 subscribers). The group subscription would work great for a homeschool group or co-op.

Take the time to check out the website and see for yourself. If you’d like to read other reviews, then look at what the other TOS Homeschool Crew members are writing about this site.
