A child has been strongly attached to toys since early childhood. Play is everything to him and through play the child develops. One of the toys to which the child is especially attached is the stage puppet. In preschool and early school age, the stage puppet plays a safety role. The stage puppet becomes a valuable toy that has its place of honor in the living room of an educational group or family home. Games with stage puppets in children stimulate speech, rich children's vocabulary, develop facial expressions, coordination of movements and the like. Playing with stage puppets develops in the child the ability to cooperate with peers. It also encourages the creation of a positive image of oneself and strengthens children’s self-confidence and respect for others. Everything a stage puppet can say encourages the development of creative thinking and imagination. Stage puppets bring the child into a state of excitement and playfulness and thus move the mental, imaginary and emotional world. They also enable the child to express his experience of the world and the environment in which he is more freely and courageously. Stage puppets allow a child to participate in an imaginary world he has just created. The stage puppet imitates living beings, "communicates" more easily, copes more courageously with problems and fears, and helps children as psychotherapy does. The positive effects of stage puppets on preschool children are also presented. In addition to stage puppets and puppet shows, children learn faster and remember more easily, so they need a well-educated educator who will create a pleasant and valid puppet atmosphere for activities and learning. In this way, it will encourage the child to participate in the activities unhindered and without fear. The paper will present a review of the children's play "The Lion Who Did Not Know How to Write". There is also a puppet show that I wrote on my own, with the title "Magic Wand".
