New Meridian Puppets!
A new line of delightful self-help toys has been added to the Kids Can Tap Too collection of children’s
educational games. The new Meridian Puppets are hand made in the USA sock puppets, appealing
to kids of all ages.
The sock puppets can be used alone or in conjunction with other Kids Can Tap Too materials. The
focus of Kids Can Tap Too is to teach children simple methods to release negative emotions. Using
instructional material on CDs, Kids Can Tap Too addresses a variety of issues, including night time
fears, unwillingness to share, and separation anxiety.
The inspiration for the Kids Can Tap Too materials was a six-year-olds fear of performing in a school
play. Author and creator Becky Schenk-Gonzales wanted to help her granddaughter overcome her
fear by combining a de-stressing technique with a sense of fun. The result was the first “I’ve Got
Feelings” story-game. With friendly characters like Patty Cat, Biff the Bear and a wise old owl, the
collection has now grown to nine instructional story-games on CDs, plus a paperback book and now
puppets.
The Meridian Puppets are more than a fun tool. “The puppets motivate children to talk and voice
their feelings by speaking to the puppets,” Schenk-Gonzales says. “Even adults find themselves
falling in love with the puppets as they play with them and their children.” Puppets, CDs and the book
can be purchased online at www.kidscantaptoo.com. Prices range from $4.95 to $18.50. Meridian
Puppets are $14.95. For more information, visit www.kidscantaptoo.com, or contact the author at
