A scene puppet is the main medium of puppetry and it is different from puppets used in child's play. In this work, presented and described are many advantages of a puppet when used in educational work. Puppetry and a scene puppet are extremely important in the education of preschool children. They provide a way for easier communication and easier adjustment of a child to their preschool group. Also, they encourage educational values, creative activities, and development of children's independence and positive self-image. Furthermore, the goal of this work was to examine the presence of a puppet and puppetry in preschool institutions. The research questions used in the questionnaire that educators completed were: “What is the educator's stance toward using puppets and if they use them?“, ”How much and in what situations they use a puppet in their work?“, “What type of puppets they use the most in their work?“, and “Do preschool teachers have a scene puppet physically present in their working environment, such as a room?“. The results showed that almost three quarters of the educators in this research consider the world of puppets as important as all the other educational activities. A large majority thinks it is easier to satisfy a child's developmental needs by using puppetry and also considers that the power of a puppet is to help them in everyday situations, such as in communicating with children and resolving any conflict that might arise. On the other hand, many educators admitted to not feeling confident in their competence to use a puppet in order to reach the curricular goals. Educators most often use stick puppets, a little less often guignol puppets, then finger puppets, mouth puppet, etc. The frequency of using a puppet ranges from every day to once a month, and only 5 of 147 educators in this research reported not ever using a puppet. Finally, only less than a half of educators reported having a puppet physically present in their working environment, such as a room, which could be interesting for future research.
