Puppetry is a branch of the performing arts, which provides insight into the relationship between the puppet and the spectator. Puppetry is ideally applied in work with preschool children, who actively follow puppet performances with enthusiasm and great curiosity. Puppet miniature is the most suitable puppet show, intended for direct work with preschool children. Elements of puppet miniature are stage puppet, puppet animation, puppet text, scenography, puppet stage speech, puppet space and mise-en-scène, and music in puppet miniature. Each element is important and determines the quality of the puppet miniature. It is very important to know the task and function that each element of a puppet miniature has. The stage puppet is the most important element of puppet miniature, and it represents a fundamental work of art. The types of stage puppets used in puppet miniatures are hand puppets, puppets, stick puppets (Hawaiians) and shadow theater. Knowledge of the mental and psychological abilities of preschool children is considered a condition for the creation of puppet miniatures. A puppet miniature is considered successful when children actively participate in it and when they understand the lesson being conveyed. The positive impact of puppet miniatures for preschool children is visible through the development of children's selfconfidence, the development of language and speech skills, the development of proper listening and observation. The educator needs to be in the right way to make puppet miniatures successful. Puppet miniature is a very rich and valued tool that enables children and encourages them to learn.
