The New Saturday Puppet Program


In order to provide more enrichment activities for the kids we serve, we are starting a new Saturday activity program, which will involve puppet-making, puppeteering skills, drama, and creative writing. This will give the kids an opportunity to meet other children with disabilities, and to share their experiences with non-disabled peers.

Our program will use puppets and scripts from the Kids on the Block educational puppetry program, which was founded in 1977 to help educated non-disabled children about their disabled peers. It allows children to ask questions about disabilities to the puppets, who also act out different scenes. Our program will allow children with disabilities to be directly involved in the creation and performance of Kids on the Block materials. For more information on this or other programs of the Cerebral Palsy Big Siblings, email us at chp@hcs.harvard.edu
