Helen Meurs - Puppetologist & Play Based Connector - Invidious

Helen Meurs - Puppetologist & Play Based Connector

Welcome! I’m Helen Meurs aka The Puppet Power Pioneer – puppet coach, puppetologist, trainer and developer. On this channel, I show how to use a hand puppet to build real connection with children.

These videos are for parents, educators and child professionals who want to use a puppet not to entertain, but to reach children and support their language, emotional growth, resilience and independence.

With 30+ years of puppet experience, a background in education, personal trauma experience and ongoing learning, I teach how a puppet can work for you – in ways you can’t always reach as an adult.

This is not about performance or ventriloquism, but about using a puppet as a bridge, a barrier breaker and a tool for meaningful contact.

A puppet is no magic trick – but when used with intention, it can make a real difference.
