The puppeteer gives the puppet personality, speech, movement, feelings and a complete experience, therefore his role in puppet shows is really significant.

For puppetry, it is important to know some of the more important concepts, that is, the elements that are important in order to perform a puppet show. These are dramaturgy and text, movement, scenography, puppet design, music and direction. Puppetry is very important in a child's life, because from an early age he plays with dolls and imagines different roles, because symbolic play is the closest form of play to a child. Such play affects the child's overall development, so it is important to implement it in kindergarten activities. Educators are the people who are in charge of carrying out such activities, but in order for it to be successful, the educator himself must have the desire to do so, that is, he must love puppetry. A doll in a child's hands can do anything, it can be anyone and anything, and through the doll the child pretends to be someone else, and by following such play, educators can learn a lot about the child. Equally, the doll can help the educator to communicate with the child, to achieve an affectionate relationship and security because the child will open up to the dolls very easily, easier than to the educators until they get to know them.
