Home performance is a great waydiversify their leisure time, arrange a pleasant surprise for their loved ones and, of course, introduce the smallest members of the family to the theater. More than that, the story-role game has become an important activity for every child for two or three years already. One of its types is playing in the theater. In this game the child mimics the fairy-tale heroes, learns to interact with the help of characters, masters the art of reincarnation, develops imagination and speech.
Glove theater

Even the kids will be happy to watch the movements of a familiar character, and the older guys themselves will take part in the performance. It's great that glove puppets are very mobile: they can turn their heads and move their hands, of course, with your help! Try it! Now on sale there is a large number of special sets for the glove theater.
Finger theater

Suggest a kid to choose a tiger cub, a rabbit or a Kolobok - and you'll see how little fun little fingers spin! And after all, every mother knows that along with fine motor skills, the child develops speech.
Table Theater

The performance will be even more interesting if you create desktop decorations. Build a house for fairy-tale heroes, a forest glade or make a paper lake! And the theater on the table is good because almost any toy can be used for the play: small plastic heroes or even soft plush animals!
Magnetic Theater

A special board and figures on the magnetic tape - that's all you need for the game. Magnetic spectacle does not require large-scale scenery or square meters of scenic stage, but it certainly will help to come up with a lot of new stories for your home performances!
Flanelograph

This didactic aid was given its name due to the type of cloth - flannel, which has a special feature - "to keep on itself" figures from the same material. You just put them on the playing field, and no stickers are needed! Feather and fleece have the same properties! So mothers-needlewomen will not make it very difficult to make a base and figures for a home theater.
Shadow Theater

Even if you do not have the talent to imitate animals and birds with the help of hands, in the theater of shadows can play any pictures, toys or objects with a pronounced and recognizable contour. Found such? It remains only to deliver a directional light source - and a simple shadow theater is ready! This spectacle really fascinates children! Also interesting:
