Make Your Store a Premiere Attraction with Puppet Heap!

Kids have a mind-boggling array of choices when it comes to electronic entertainment. Between high-end gaming systems, online interaction, handheld games, and TV on demand, most youngsters have more than enough to keep them glued to an audio-video set of some kind. Still, there’s something about traditional, creative, real-time forms of fun that can capture a child’s attention and interactive imagination in a way that pixels simply cannot.

The ancient art of puppetry has been teaching and entertaining people of all ages for millennia. As soon as human beings gained the ability to understand and process the intricacies of the world around them, they began crafting artistic representations of themselves and the creatures they lived with everyday. Nobody’s sure of the exact date of the dawn of puppetry, but some researchers believe it may be around 30,000 years old, making it one of the oldest forms of entertainment and expression.

To this day, there’s a certain magic in watching a puppet show. When the lights go out and the “actors” take the stage, most viewers are instantly drawn in and riveted to the story that’s taking place, forgetting that the players are made of stuffing and cloth. For this magic to be truly effective, talented puppeteers and well-made puppets must work together to create anew and grab an audience’s attention. That’s where Puppet Heap takes its bow!

Puppet Heap is a New Jersey-based company that knows the value of the timeless art of puppetry. The company designs custom characters for puppet theatre presenters, and also creates its own small-scale screen productions featuring its unique characters in retellings of classic stories like Old Mother Hubbard. Founder Paul Andrejco is an experienced puppet designer who has worked on many well-known children’s shows including PBS’s “Bear in The Big Blue House.” With Puppet Heap, his aim was to create visually interesting puppets that command the stage and allow for compelling storytelling.

Andrejco has recently branched out into the retail sector with his Puppet Heap Playthings product line, set for retail availability by Fall 2011. Puppet Heap playthings aren’t your average hand puppets. They’re artistic creations with colors, shapes, and facial expressions that will charm children and adults alike.

Each puppet has its own unique look that captures its character and personality to a T for “theater” at home! Quality craftsmanship makes them ideal for presentations, but they can also be wonderful collectors items. These puppets will work their wonder at home or in schools, community centers, or churches. In a nutshell, they’re perfect for putting on a puppet show that’s vivid, imaginative and engaging.
