Welcome to Kindergarten Puppet Magic: Meet Rulee Video
with Diane Bonica

Every class deserves to have a wonderful puppet friend who can help them reflect on discipline and management issues.  Meet Rulee, Diane Bonica’s special helping giraffe, who has a permanent habitat in a tent next to the meeting area in her classroom. Rulee loves to listen to books and his job is to help keep the children safe. Check out this video clip of Rulee in action and consider how responsive children are to imaginative puppet characters. 

  • Rulee changes outfits with the themes and seasons.
  • Children love to write notes to Rulee: They treat him like an honored kindergarten friend.
  • One child each day is responsible for bringing Rulee to the circle area and returning him to his home.

See article Welcome to Kindergarten Puppet Magic for more information about Rulee.
