FINGER THEATER

Finger theaters are very good for theatrical activities. Theatrical games create an emotional lift, increase the vitality of the child, participating in a home performance, the child feels relaxed and free.

Finger theater is an excellent material for the development of imagination, thinking and speech in children. Finger theater promotes the development of fine motor skills. During the games, children, repeating the movements of adults, activate the motor skills of the hands. With the help of this, dexterity is developed, the ability to control one’s movements, to concentrate on one type of activity.

Finger theater is indispensable for working with children with developmental disabilities: RDA, DS, cerebral palsy, mental retardation and various speech deviations. Games with little characters allow you to stimulate speech activity, since all the warmth, originality, brightness, invested by the author in the figure, involves the child in a fairy-tale world, helping to remove various blocks. The game is a natural means of self-expression for the child, and the use of symbolic materials helps him to distance himself from problematic (difficult) situations.
