Often we find a child inventing tools, and we find a girl making her doll from cloth with her own hands. This handmade doll must receive the attention of parents, mothers, and teachers, and be preferred over a ready-made doll, no matter how beautiful. Encouraging what the child offers from his products paves the way for him to invent new ideas and always encourages him to present new ideas that come to his mind and pushes him to bring them into existence. (Sayed Sobhi, 1998: 62) "Puppet shows also create an atmosphere of shared experience, as well as linguistic dialogue among children with the aim of increasing their linguistic repertoire or equipping them with a skill in expression... Puppet theater also encourages children to cooperate and engage in creative and innovative work related to drawing, doll making, preparing suitable costumes, preparing dialogue, presenting the show, and accompanying music, and other activities related to this art form. (Amal Sadek, 1996: 72-73) All these areas allow the child to participate through them according to his different abilities, and at the same time allow him to unleash his diverse innovative abilities. Based on the above, there is no doubt that puppet theater is one of the most suitable activities that can be utilized with kindergarten children for their education and development. This makes puppet theater an integrated activity when presented to kindergarten children. It is an activity that matches and suits the characteristics of the kindergarten age group. It is an activity through which a young child can actively participate, and it is an activity through which a significant dimension of individual and societal progress can be developed, which is creative thinking. The Study Problem: With the multiplicity of methods used in various programs to develop creative thinking, the researcher found that puppet theater is a suitable method for young children in kindergarten. It is a method that helps children use and unleash their creative abilities in various educational situations. It (puppet theater) is also a method that places the child in situations that provide him with the opportunity to participate clearly and effectively, which will have a return on his various developmental aspects (psychological, social, cognitive, and physical). The important role that theater can play in developing the child's multiple abilities, and through what studies have confirmed in this field, in addition to the scarcity of previous studies – to the best of the researcher's knowledge – and what the researcher observed through her work as a teacher in the field of kindergartens.
