Hamish & Milo Using Sock Puppets Training Video

Author and creator Clare Williams explains the use of sock puppets – an integral feature of our Hamish & Milo wellbeing programme.

Our sock puppets kits are supplied as part of the programme and provide opportunities for the children to interact, to talk about fears, anxieties, or hopes and dreams and to share their experiences with the other children and puppets. Sock puppets are also fun and can be wonderful in enabling children to be expressive, playful and spontaneous.

We use them as a ‘distancing technique’, which means children can think and talk through the puppets whilst still experiencing empathy and reflection.

Find out more in our video as Clare explains the approach, rationale and provides tips and guidance on using the sock puppets.
