Fairy tales are all stories, either folk or artistic, in which supernatural elements are intertwined with elements of reality. The peculiarities of fairy tales are wondrousness as the main, pure and live language, repetition of text, fictional characters and events, clashes of good and evil and awards and punishments. Each fairy tale has a moral which should be noticed by both young and older readers. The folk fairy tale came to the fore with the work of brothers Grimm and descending them, C. Perrault, H.C. Andersen and L.Caroll introduced the artistic fairy tale in an altered way. Fairy tale, as a literary form, is the most suitable form for moral, ethical-aesthetic and educational upbringing of children and has been included in the children's literature since their earliest age. The theme of fairy tales is very similar to a child's play, as it promotes the imagination of a child, allowing him to travel to a parallel reality in which he identifies himself with the main character who eventually emerges as a winner, who accentuates qualities such as kindness, honesty, courage, persistency and faith in oneself. Along with the fairy tales children adopt the ability to distinguish between good and evil and nice and ugly, according to that, fairy tales become a major part of their personal development. Therefore, especially because fairy tale is best compared to the children's play, along with its fantastic elements and prominent coves, it becomes an important tool of approach to the children. Fairy tales do not only occur in the literature but also in other various media. The aim of this work was to present the analysis of fairy tales performed on the puppet theatre scene in Zadar. The Puppet Theatre was also established as another mean of educating the child. It was considered that it would pull the child off the street and allow him cultural upbringing and education. With its various choices of plays, puppets created in a way that they attract children's interest, dance, song and music, the theatre achieves its goal and guides the child on the path of becoming ethically, morally and culturally enriched person with a variety of opportunities.
