This paper talks about staging of literary texts for children. Initially, a child needs to be relaxed and prepared for an artistic experience. The interpretation of a character is not supposed to be a goal for the child, but the result of work in a drama group. We should choose a literary piece that is appropriate to the child's age and artistically worthy at the same time. Supposed that a child might feel a text as his or her own, it is necessary that the text possesses the qualities typical to the child, and furthermore, it should be understandable and interesting to both, the child performer and children's audience. When the educator works on the text it is required that he or she reads the text as clearly as possible and in a nice way so that children, in this early stage of holistic meeting with the content, are able to feel the beauty of dramatic words and the way of a poet's expression. Each puppet show should be original which implies that for children it should be understandable, creative and full of playfulness. When working with children there is need to develop mutual trust and respect and a common task to both, children and adults, is to discover the truth and beauty of life.
