Rubens Barn GmbH

Therapeutic puppet or hand puppet play is chosen as a form of therapy for patients who may not be able to express what is wrong. Through the use of hand puppets, the patient has the opportunity to project their feelings and thoughts onto another person or figure. This "representative" makes it easier for patients to express what is troubling them. Therefore, therapeutic puppet play is particularly suitable for all problems arising from emotional distress. Examples include school difficulties, illnesses requiring hospitalization, trauma, dementia, sleep problems, or feelings of being overwhelmed. With the unparalleled Rubens Barn puppets, feelings, situations, and moods such as fantasy, inspiration, security, closeness, joy, and sadness can be experienced. The finely modeled, gentle faces and carefully crafted eyes emphasize the loving, lifelike, and realistic expression of the puppets. Each puppet character has its own personality and is created 100% through professionally qualified handwork. Each Rubens Barn puppet provides its owner with a great deal of freedom, which is always filled with specific feelings, content, requirements, and situations. The puppets are also excellent for the care of dementia patients. Joyk puppets are particularly valued and used in the treatment of dementia and in grief and trauma management. They are also popular in working with children - playing with puppets is fundamentally important for children. The little companions provide comfort and support in difficult situations. They are essential for the transition to independence. Through playful interaction with puppets, experiences are processed, and responsible interaction with one another is learned, promoting interaction among children. These special puppets, made entirely of soft, cuddly fabrics, evoke intense feelings. They are soft-filled and weighted at the bottom, encouraging the puppets to be held and carried like real babies. The fine facial features and expressive eyes demand attention and care. The hand puppets from the manufacturer Living Puppets are particularly well suited for therapeutic support due to their ease of playability and great expressiveness. They make it easy to offer the patient puppet play as a means of communication and to place it at the center of attention. Possible applications include in speech therapy, occupational therapy practices, kindergartens, schools, or nursing homes, as well as in special educational settings. Furthermore, puppet play also promotes self-confidence, creativity, imagination, and initiative, and of course, Living Puppets can also be used solely for enjoyable puppet play, without a therapeutic background.
