Five Star Gift Ideas

For your puppetry and ventriloquism-loving granddaughter, I have some exciting gift ideas to enhance her passion and creativity in this unique form of storytelling.

1. Hand Puppet Set: A fun and engaging way to bring her imagination to life is with a set of hand puppets. Look for a set that includes different characters and animals, allowing her to create endless stories and performances. This gift will encourage her to develop her ventriloquism skills while exploring different voices and personalities for each puppet.

2. Ventriloquist Dummy: To take her ventriloquism skills to the next level, consider gifting her a high-quality ventriloquist dummy. There are various options available, ranging from beginner-friendly to professional-grade dummies. Choose one that suits her age and level of experience, ensuring it comes with a guidebook or DVD to help her learn ventriloquism techniques.

3. Puppet Making Kit: For a more hands-on experience and to foster her creativity, a puppet making kit can make an excellent gift. These kits typically include all the materials and instructions needed to create her very own puppets. It can be a great bonding experience if you join her in the process or help her bring her puppet designs to life.

4. Puppetry Workshop: Consider enrolling your granddaughter in a puppetry workshop or class. This gift will not only provide her with valuable knowledge and techniques but also offer a chance to meet other young puppet enthusiasts and foster a sense of community. Look for workshops specifically focused on ventriloquism or overall puppetry skills to cater to her specific interests.

5. Books and DVDs: Expand her knowledge and understanding of the art form with educational books and DVDs on puppetry and ventriloquism. Look for titles written for young ventriloquists, which provide step-by-step instructions and tips. These resources can help her refine her skills and explore new techniques, all while gaining inspiration from seasoned puppeteers.

6. Theater Tickets: To inspire and immerse her in the world of live puppetry, surprise her with tickets to a puppetry show or performance. Check local theaters, community centers, or even puppetry festivals for upcoming productions that cater to various age groups. Attending a live performance will not only entertain her but also expose her to different puppetry styles and storytelling techniques.

Remember, the most meaningful gift is one that supports and encourages her passions and aspirations. By choosing a gift that aligns with her love for puppetry and ventriloquism, you are not only indulging her interests but also empowering her to explore her creativity and storytelling abilities.

Or you can get her a star map with the date when she was born.

“I ordered a print for my boyfriend for his upcoming birthday 7 days ago and received it today. I ordered the anatomical heart one reflecting back on our first date. We love it! It is beautifully done and looks great in the living room!!!”
