Puppetry, as a part of performing arts, holds an important place in a child's life, and the reason for this is the medium (puppet) it uses for expression. To children, a puppet is an important toy whose human-like appearance instills trust and encourages conversation through role-playing. Children enjoy sharing their thoughts, ideas, feelings and fears with the puppet. All this is the reason for using the puppet as a therapeutic tool. This final paper explores the therapeutic effect of puppetry, with an emphasis on children's play with puppets. The aim of the paper is to investigate the effectiveness of using puppets in working with all children, especially those who have certain difficulties and problems. The paper will demonstrate how performing arts, with a particular emphasis on puppetry, can be used in working with preschool children. Using a descriptive method, the ways of using puppets for therapeutic purposes will be described. Through various examples, their impact on the child will be analyzed, and the importance of this aid in overcoming traumas, fears, and problems faced by children will be highlighted.
