Meet Sharon Johnson

Puppeteer, Educator & Creator of Grace & Grins Puppet Shows

For more than 15 years, I’ve been bringing puppets to life to help children learn, laugh, and connect. My journey into educational puppetry began with Kids on the Block, where I saw firsthand how puppets could make important topics easier for children to understand and talk about.

Today, through Grace & Grins Puppet Shows, I create interactive programs that combine colorful, life-sized puppets with music, movement, humor, and meaningful messages. Whether I’m performing for preschoolers, elementary students, library families, or senior living communities, my goal is always the same—to create genuine connection, plenty of laughter, and an experience people remember.

Why Grace & Grins?

Grace & Grins is more than a puppet show—it’s an interactive experience. Children don’t simply sit and watch. They respond to the puppets, answer questions, move to the music, laugh, and become part of the fun.

Each program combines colorful, life-sized puppets with humor, music, movement, and meaningful educational messages. Programs are thoughtfully adapted for the age and developmental level of each audience, creating an experience that is engaging, inclusive, and memorable.

Experience That Makes a Difference

With more than 15 years of experience in educational puppetry, I understand that every audience is different. I bring careful preparation, flexibility, and plenty of energy to each performance, creating programs that are both entertaining and meaningful.

From a room full of toddlers to an elementary school audience, a library family program, or a senior living community, my favorite moments are the same—the laughter, the connection, and seeing people completely caught up in the experience.
