The purpose of this paper is to give insight into the importance of puppets of any kind, as well as mouth puppets for the purpose of stimulating the almost complete development of the child. Also, this work seeks to emphasize the importance and value of the use of puppetry elements in working with children of early and pre-school age. The puppet, as the main puppetry instrument, is known as an important element for encouraging children's development. Mouth puppet opens up many opportunities for achieving educational goals in working with early and pre-school children and helps parents and educators understand their children's behavior better and more effectively. The puppet promotes the imagination of the child through his cognitive and socio-emotional world and helps him express his feelings and thoughts through the game. A stage puppet attracts children because it brings them into a state of excitement and playfulness because they can enjoy the imaginary world that they create in the game. Playing with a puppet is a symbolic game. Symbolic play is one of the most important and most basic children's activities and is a prerequisite for the development of children's emotions and abilities. The puppet satisfies the child's basic need for play, for freedom and for belonging, and thus creates a positive image of himself. Teachers in kindergartens have an important role to play in developing and promoting the overall growth and development of children. Educators who use mouth puppet in educational work with children create the right conditions for a child's qualitative play. They build a positive and appreciative atmosphere in the children's group where children feel comfortable and want to get in touch with stage puppets, which promotes the development of communication, expressing their thoughts and feelings, the sense of cooperation and fellowship, and all other aspects of the child's overall development.
