The doll is associated with puppetry and is the main means of expression of this art. There are dolls of different shapes, made of different materials and of different dimensions. The puppet is moved, i.e. animated by the puppeteer (animator), who gives life to the puppet, without him they are lifeless and empty and only in appearance they resemble a living being .A stage puppet is very important part of a child's life, it triggers his feelings and imagination, renews his knowledge and experiences, it is his support in his speech and stage creativity. The child identifies with her, she is his friend and interlocutor. Puppet helps that child better understands himself and the world around him. Speech is very important for a child's development overall.A child develops his speech by listening, and enriches his vocabulary by imitating the speech of his surroundings and creating his own language constructions. Games with puppets are speech games by nature, in which the child's speech naturally develops and enriches. With the doll, language becomes an object of play and is no longer used only for the purpose of communication. A younger preschool child does not yet have enough words to be able to express himself, so the motor component dominates in playing with a puppet, while an older preschool child expresses himself in longer and connected dialogue and monologue speech and uses the motor component less and less.
