Theudmentioned theoretical starting points of the children's theatre are linked to the Reggioudeducational approach perceiving the puppet of all things to be a powerful means ofudsocialization and identity development. The theatrical means of expression are a medium to get to know the world, to link the contents, to reach the objectives of theudcurricula and apart from that the child's emotional and social development is affected.udThe main purpose of the creative theatre education is to foster personal development ofudthe actors and to educate them at the same time to monitor and understand the art of theudtheatre.

The process in which theseudtheatrical activities are pursued is important for the educator, who encourages creativity,udindependence and investigating in the child following the model of his symbolic play.udFor this reason documenting, that plays an important role in the Reggio approach, i.e.udmonitoring the development of the theatrical project and the child's development by audvideo camera and photos, is of great importance.
