Health promotion uses education as a tool to help individuals and the community achieve full physical, mental, and social well-being. In this educational task, different strategies, methodologies and educational resources have been used, one of which is education using puppets, with satisfactory results. However, there is limited experience as regards the training of health professionals in techniques and strategies for carrying out an educational activity using puppets. The limited results presented in the literature show isolated innovations in the training of nurses. Although these have resulted in satisfactory experiences for students and teachers, they are not included in the curricula as a resource that should be learned by future professionals that will carry out educational activities in the community.
