We use the puppets named Bethany (butterfly) and Judah (Lion) to help teach our lessons. Puppets have an amazing ability to involve even shy children.
One of the first Acholi words I learned was La Fou Fou (Butter fly)

Puppets enthrall young and old alike. And when there is a story being narrated with them, nothing like it!

How colour along with puppets / cuddly toys can bridge such ravines that mankind fails to achieve. Your poem says so much and a pleasure to read.

I once had a child in Sunday School who absolutely hated puppets. No reason. Just freaked him out!

I’ve used puppets in classrooms, performances, and with my own kids. One of my best school experiences was taking a master class in puppetry. You’re right: they bring magic.
