Youngsters learn about life skills from puppets Buttons, Bows, Early Bird, Myth Mary, Donovan Dignity and Recovering Reggie. These furry puppets are part of the B.A.B.E.S. program held once a week for five weeks for youngsters ages 6-9 in elementary schools. Children learn about positive life skills, such as self-image, decision-making, peer pressure and coping skills, as well as alcohol and drug information through stories with puppets, songs and activities.
