The performance for kids is very good, right for kids 2-3 years old! It seemed that his son (he was 4, 5) had outgrown him a little, he was well acquainted with the fairy tale and maybe that’s why, the story of the boy Egorka, who was carried away by swan geese to Baba Yaga and his good sister Dunyasha, he was not too impressed. But, we are still talking about puppets controlled by actors. Matvey really liked this idea and even during the performance there were many questions about how the puppets move and how they can be made. Let's try to open home theater puppets :) Thank you!

We watched the play Geese-swans with a 4-year-old daughter.

The plot of the tale is used almost classically, only as far as I know, in the retelling of Afanasiev on the way "there" the girl refused to eat the food offered by the stove, river and apple tree, and when she ate, they immediately helped her. In the play, these characters ask their sister to help them cope with their problems, and on the way back they help her. It seems to me that such an interpretation is even more useful for children, as it symbolizes the cycle of goodness in nature :)

In addition to the main line in the middle of the performance, there is a "sidebar" with objects glowing in the dark, dedicated to growing and harvesting, quite informative for children, to a pleasant melody, but most importantly - it looks great!

The performance involves not only puppets, but also puppets representing helpers. In addition, at some points they interact with children, ask them questions, ask for hints. Almost all the kids took part - either they counted apples, or they chased away geese. At one point, even the help of an adult from the audience is required, everyone laughed very much.

The performance lasts only 50 minutes, the children do not have time to get tired or bored, my daughter and I just really enjoyed it! I recommend this theater and a specific performance, and I think that although it is far from us, we will definitely go there again.

Last Saturday, my youngest daughter Anyuta and I watched the performance "Geese-Swans" at the Moscow Children's Marionette Theater.

The performance is really designed for young children from 2 years old.

The dolls are as close to the human form as possible, communicate with children, also some characters are played by people, there are no very frightening characters - only occasionally hissing swan geese

In the middle of the performance there is a short musical break, which is performed in the dark and with the use of decorations painted with colored fluorescent paints. A song about the history of the birth of bread - from planting a grain in the ground to baking bread. The scenery attracts the attention of children, the melody is gentle, the words are understandable to children.

Anyutka was actively involved in the interactive - she suggested where to look for the boy Yegorka, whom the geese had carried away. When asked by her sister - where they took her away (to the right or to the left), she answered - to her home! :)

Baba Yaga is represented by a puppet character in a hut on chicken legs. Due to this, it is small in size and did not scare the children.

At the end of the performance, the actors appear with puppets in their hands and sing a good song :)

Watched the play "Geese Swans".
This was not our first experience of visiting puppet theaters: we had already been to the Obraztsov Puppet Theater, as well as to various performances using puppets. But we saw puppets for the first time. Both my daughter Kira and me, who never remembered whether I had seen puppets in my childhood, were very interested in how the puppets would come to life.
But let's start in order.
The theater is located in the Soviet-built Pobeda cinema: high ceilings, rich chandeliers)))

In the hall before the performance, an animator meets the children, enticing the children with various games. It seems to me that it was an actor who was Grandfather and Baba Yaga in the fairy tale. True, Kira quickly got sick of playing. Apparently, she did not like the game at the choice of another parent at all. Let's go to the aquagrim)))

We did not have to wait long for the start, after a few minutes the audience was invited into the hall. Comfortable chairs for spectators. For children, it was possible to find an extra pillow on the chair, but there were a limited number of pillows.

The most important thing is, of course, the performance. It's great that the fairy tale was not presented in the classical version, when the Sister at the beginning of the fairy tale was rather a negative hero: she ran away to play with her friends, leaving her brother home alone, and then, in search of a brother, she did not immediately help the stove, the apple tree and the river. Here Sister Dunyasha was very kind girl: she went for millet for chickens when Geese-Swans carried away her brother Yegorushka, and then on the way behind her brother she immediately helped everyone. I really liked that not only puppets were involved in the performance, but also life-size puppets, if you can call it that: the Stove, the Apple Tree, the River and even the Hut on Chicken Legs. They were well made costumes. I was personally conquered by the Stove, directly by the Fire (!) and the River. Kira asked urgently to sew a dress for her, like at the River)))) It was nice that the children were always involved in the action: call the chickens, count the apples, sing a lullaby to Baba Yaga, show the way to Dunyasha. There was also a small interactive, which I do not really like. The river called the "hero" from the hall to move the pebble. The hero was not immediately found, but several strong girls came to the rescue. Of course, mine also wanted to. I had to tell a "fairy tale" that she was not a hero at all)))
My daughter was really worried when Geese-Swans took away brother Yegorushka from the yard. Baba Yaga was the cutest character: not at all scary and perky. Kira's favorite hero)) By the way, Baba Yaga was a glove (?) doll.

In general, the performance left the most pleasant impressions: excellent sound, active action that does not let the child get bored, the duration of the performance is optimal for children. Special thanks for the mini-performance in the play, which tells about planting and harvesting grain, and then about the process of baking bread) The action was fascinating: in the dark the luminous Sun, Month, Ears, Cloud, etc.
I strongly recommend the Theater for a hike with small children. I wish the Theater to quickly acquire its own premises and new creative discoveries!

I also liked the staging and organization. The theater is located 5 minutes walk from Proletarskaya metro station, in the building of the Pobeda cinema. Immediately at the entrance there is a garberob where you can drop off clothes and, importantly, children's shoes.
In the foyer, children do not get bored while waiting for the performance, you can eat ice cream in a cafe, take part in master classes, do face painting or just paint. Paper, felt-tip pens and even a plate of sweets are freely available.
About 15 minutes before the start of the performance, one of the actors comes out and arranges games and funny running around. My daughter loves entertainment with all sorts of animators, so she participated with pleasure. Then everyone goes into the hall. For kids there are special pads under the ass to sit higher and see everything.
Even I liked the performance itself - bright and colorful scenery, "live" dolls, frightening swans :). Not only puppets play, but also life-size puppets.
I really liked that the performance is interactive - the children answer the questions of the characters in unison, sing along to the songs, and the bravest ones even go on stage to take part in saving the main characters. The performance lasts 50 minutes, in my opinion, it is optimal for children, even for the smallest, actively participating in the performance, they do not have time to get tired during this time.
At the end, the actors with the puppets went out to bow and I was very surprised that there were only four of them, I thought there were 10 people behind the scenes, how did they manage to change clothes and change the puppets and scenery? The quality of the show is really top notch.
In general, we are very satisfied, we heartily recommend the performances of the Puppet Theater for preschoolers! This great option spending time with a child in a dank Moscow autumn.

Fairy tale "Geese-swans"

Paper dolls and decorations to act out a famous Russian folk tale"Swan geese".

Fairy tale "Geese-swans".

There lived a man and a woman. They had a daughter and a little son.
- Daughter, - said the mother, - we will go to work, take care of your brother. Don't leave the yard, be smart - we'll buy you a handkerchief.

The father and mother left, and the daughter forgot what she was ordered to: she put her brother on the grass under the window, and she ran out into the street for a walk. Geese-swans flew in, picked up the boy, carried away on wings.

The girl returned, looks - but there is no brother! Gasped, rushed to look for him, back and forth - nowhere! She called him, burst into tears, lamented that it would be bad from her father and mother, - the brother did not respond.

She ran out into an open field and only saw: geese-swans rushed in the distance and disappeared behind a dark forest. Then she guessed that they had taken away her brother: there had long been a bad reputation about swan geese that they carried away small children.

The girl rushed to catch up with them. She ran, she ran, she saw - there was a stove.
- Stove, stove, tell me, where did the swan geese fly?
The stove replies:
- Eat my rye pie - I will say.
- I'll eat a rye pie! My father doesn't even eat wheat...
The stove didn't tell her. The girl ran on - there is an apple tree.
- Apple tree, apple tree, tell me, where did the swan geese fly?
- Eat my forest apple - I will say.
“My father doesn’t even eat garden ones ... The apple tree didn’t tell her. The girl ran on. A milky river flows in the jelly banks.
- Milk river, jelly banks, where did the swan geese fly?
- Eat my simple jelly with milk - I will say.
- My father does not even eat cream ... For a long time she ran through the fields, through the forests. The day was drawing to a close, there was nothing to do - we had to go home. Suddenly he sees - there is a hut on a chicken leg, with one window, it turns around itself.

In the hut the old Baba Yaga is spinning a tow. And a brother sits on a bench, plays with silver apples. The girl entered the hut:
- Hello, grandma!
- Hello, girl! Why did it show up?
- I walked through the mosses, through the swamps, soaked my dress, came to warm up.
- Sit down while spinning the tow. Baba Yaga gave her a spindle, and she left. The girl is spinning - suddenly a mouse runs out from under the stove and says to her:
- Girl, girl, give me porridge, I'll tell you kindly.
The girl gave her porridge, the mouse said to her:
- Baba Yaga went to heat the bathhouse. She will wash you, evaporate you, put you in the oven, fry and eat you, she will ride on your bones. The girl sits neither alive nor dead, crying, and the mouse again to her:
- Do not wait, take your brother, run, and I will spin the tow for you.
The girl took her brother and ran. And Baba Yaga will come to the window and ask:
- Girl, are you spinning?
The mouse answers her:
- I'm spinning, grandmother ... Baba Yaga heated the bath and went after the girl. And there is no one in the hut.

Baba Yaga screamed:
- Swan geese! Fly in pursuit! Brother's sister took away! ..
My sister and brother ran to the milky river. He sees - flying swan geese.
- River, mother, hide me!
- Eat my simple pudding.
The girl ate and said thank you. The river hid her under the jelly bank.
Geese-swans did not see, they flew by. The girl and her brother ran again. And the geese-swans came back to meet, they will see it any moment. What to do? Trouble! There is an apple tree...
- Apple tree, mother, hide me!
- Eat my forest apple. The girl quickly ate and said thank you. The apple tree covered it with branches, covered it with sheets.
Geese-swans did not see, they flew by. The girl ran again. Runs, runs, it's not far away. Then the swan geese saw her, cackled - they swoop in, beat their wings, look at that brother, they will tear it out of their hands. The girl ran to the stove:
- Stove, mother, hide me!
- Eat my rye pie.
The girl is more like a pie in her mouth, and she herself and her brother in the oven, sat down in the stoma.
Geese-swans flew, flew, shouted, shouted, and flew away to Baba Yaga with nothing.
The girl said thank you to the oven and ran home with her brother.
And then my father and mother came.

The fairy tale "Geese - Swans" is the most favorite fairy tale in our group, this is what prompted us to create a table theater. It consists of dolls made by our hands.

When the question of what the dolls would be made of was decided, it became clear that empty bottles would be the basis, since they are stable and easy for children to manipulate.

Such heroes as mom, dad, Masha, Vanyushka, Baba Yaga were clearly presented to us, and such as an apple tree, a stove, a milky river - with difficulty. We drew sketches, changed images many times, and in the end it was decided that these characters would be made in female forms.

The basis of all dolls are milk bottles different kind, bottles from under liquid soap. And for the "Yablonka", "Milk River", "Stove" - ​​bottles from under detergent"Feri", as she is very reminiscent of female figure. There are also woolen threads, beads, pieces of multi-colored leather, fabric of various textures, a crochet hook, threads, needles.

To make such dolls, of course, you need to be able to crochet and have the skills of cutting and sewing. All figures are made according to the same scheme:

The head is knitted: the principle of knitting in a circle, with a single crochet, the size of the head in accordance with the figure of the doll. The head is stuffed with padding polyester, then the neck is knitted in a circle, it can already be put on the neck of the bottle, then the bottle is tied, also with a single crochet, in a circle. The color of the yarn matches the image of the doll;

The hands are knitted separately with a single crochet, in a circle, then they are stuffed tightly with synthetic winterizer, the hands end with palms in the form of mittens, then the palms are sewn to the hands. Only Baba Yagi long fingers were knitted for completeness. Hands are sewn to the body. The base of the doll is ready.

Clothes for the doll are carefully thought out, in our case, almost all the costumes are made in the Russian style. Heroes-people are additionally sewn on bast shoes, the principle of knitting is also in a circle, with a single crochet.

The head is complemented by a hairstyle (hair from woolen threads), headwear. For the face, factory-made and home-made eyes, pieces of multi-colored leather, knitted spouts, and beads are used.

In this photo, the dolls of Pechka, Yablonka, Mashenka are not yet finished. On Yablonka, the beginning of her future hairstyle, at the Stove she did not create, and Masha is the basis of the future doll.

Here are the parents: mom and dad, they are without hats. Baba Yaga is not yet dressed.

The whole family is together: mom, dad, son, daughter.

And here is Baba Yaga in all her beauty - earrings and beads made of chicken bones, and where would she be without evil spirits - a black spider on an apron and, of course, a black cat and, of course, a broom.

The milk river is white as milk, in the hands is a jug of milk.

The apple tree is darker, as we tried to choose the color of the yarn in accordance with the color of the tree trunk, and the hair is green like foliage, and of course, bulk apples.

The stove is a portly woman, with large forms, with a delicious ruddy pie, and the apron worked with fire and poles. Skirt at the stove with peeling whitewash.

We decided to make geese in an unusual way. A blue sleeve (sky) is knitted on a child's hand, geese are knitted separately and sewn to the "sky".

Here you see Nastya with the sky and geese in her arms.

All the heroes of our table theater before your eyes. Children and parents helped us. The children rejoiced at the appearance of each new doll, each new item. Many girls already want to learn how to knit and sew, and their parents helped us kind word, and who and the material for work, supported us in this.
