ponster

Once upon a time one of my 4 children wanted a puppet for a school project. A few tutorials later, this frugal mom was on to something magical. My love for puppet making was born and the cuteness I was creating must be shared with the world.

Hi! I am Nicole. I am a Gen X mom of 4 awesome human beings and an early childhood educator. As a child, i grew up on sesame street, The Muppet show, Mr. Rogers, Dr. Seuss and playing outside with friends until it got dark. My younger sister and I played dress up ( we still do) My grandmother and mother made me dolls and teddy bears. These things shaped and inspired me. Now as a mother and someone who works with children, I know that Imaginative play is essential to children. Play is how a child makes sense of the world around them. A puppet can help a shy child feel safe. They engage the imagination. I love to make colorful, soft puppets with loads of personality and expression. I especially love the idea that I get to send my creations out into the world to bring some joy. To inspire imaginative play. To come to life on the hand of a young puppeteer or a puppeteer that is young at heart like me. If it is behind the couch, in the classroom, or on the stage, a ponster puppet will be a great friend for a child and a great addition to your show.
