Workshop: Ready, Set, Let’s Play!
Michele Valeri and Ingrid Crepeau have presented their work at Early Childhood conferences all over the country, including the annual NAEYC national conferences. They are constantly working with teachers and children in the classroom, doing residencies on integrating puppetry, music and song writing into the daily routine of the preschool experience.
In this workshop Ingrid will give everyone an “Anything” puppet to keep. She’ll involve the audience in an interactive demonstration on how to bring a puppet to life. For her part Michele will lead the audience in singing new songs she has written from her CD “Little Ditties for Itty Bitties: Songs for Infants and Toddlers” Ingrid and Michele know their techniques work; and want to share their enthusiasm for using performing arts with infants and toddlers with you, their teachers and caregivers. So Get Ready! Get Set! Let’s Play!
