At One Way UK, we have been providing training and resources to equip churches and communities since 1991. We love to encourage and inspire others to use puppets as an engaging and effective communication tool. Whether that's in churches, schools or in the community, our experience has been that not only do children relate to puppets, children themselves are also great puppeteers! From the age of nine or even younger, children can express themselves through a puppet when they may not be confident enough to do so by themselves. Anyone of any age or background can relate to and engage with puppets remember, never underestimate the power of a puppet! So what are you waiting for? It's time to release the potential of puppetry!
