This paper emphasizes the importance of teachers using puppets in kindergarten. The aim of the research was to determine that the appearance of hand puppets as an incentive, before and after puppet performances, is very important at the nursery age of children as well. By defining the concepts of puppetry and drama pedagogy, we want to make the public aware of the reviving role of the puppet in the child's development. The symbolism it conveys is the power and tool of drama pedagogy. The role of the teacher is, among other things, to believe in the power the puppet has, because the relationship between the puppeteer – teacher, the puppet and the child will only succeed in this way. The child encounters a puppet every day and it is impossible to imagine there is a preschool classroom without it. Thanks to numerous researches and authors who have dedicated their time to the magical role of puppets, today we have various literature on this topic. This study joins the mentioned works and proves almost identical thesis about the nursery age of children.
