The Royals ~~ King,Princess,Soldier,Clown ~~ Jester…


king  
Although in today’s age. some of us might not be very much in favourite of having a royal family, but we have to admit we all like the fascination that comes with it. 


They seem to brighten up our world occasionally with their presences, grand occasions, such as the Wedding that we had this  year   Prince William to Miss Catherine Middleton. The wedding will take place in the Spring or Summer of 2011, in London. Also the Highlights of Princess Mary and Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark with the birth of their twins.


As kids, we are read some fabulous fairy tales….which we all fantasized on and dreamed about…perhaps that charming prince or princess will come to our lives. I think we still as adults do this we all like to live in fairy tales at times…..wouldn’t it be wonderful.


We carry on reading these wonderful fairy tales to our kids..mentioning a few:
Hans Christian Andersen These include "The Steadfast Tin Soldier", "The Snow Queen", "The Little Mermaid", "Thumbelina", "The Little Match Girl", and "The Ugly Duckling".
Snow WhiteGreen_Frog_sml 350
Mother Goose
Robin Hood
Sleeping Beauty (1959 film)
The Slipper and the Rose (musical)
Cinderella (1997 film)
The frog that turned into a prince


I am sure I can keep going…as the lists are endless…


We can fantasies these tales by reading but also using puppets as props to bring the story more to live. Puppets seem to engage the child more to the story…You can offer a range forms or puppetry, hand puppets, finger puppets,cone puppets, string or marionettes, reversible dolls, depending on the age and skills of the individual.

So enjoy your fairy tale moments, they can be wonderful memories……………and by the way which was your favorite Fairy Tale when you were a child...and what is your Favorite Fairy tale of your children. I think mine has to be Pinocchio!


Which puppet in store is your favorite puppet, or character?

Hi Marthese, sent by Mumma's Mini Mes.
I always love browsing in your store, but will absolutely have to get one of the puppet theatre sets - I love the little wooden stage to act out a 'traditional' puppet theatre play!

Hi Marthese! Sent by Mumma's Mini Me's.
I love the idea of the reversible puppets, especially the frog/prince. Great idea!

My favourite fairy tale character was Snow White - mainly because she was a brunette like me!


For Mumma's Mini Me's giveaway competition, I'm here to say that after looking through your puppet section, I would have to say that my favourite are the 'Wizard of Oz Finger Puppets'. They're gorgeous, and would be so much fun!
