Hand puppets are generally really great for many purposes.
1. Hand puppets give your child the opportunity to express themselves artistically in the role play that takes place between the puppet and your child.
2. From a science point of view, you can chat with your child about where each animal lives, which animals are similar to it, its friends and enemies, what it eats, and where it likes to stay and sleep.
3. Many things are much easier to express through pretend play than in real life. When you're playing with hand puppets, worries, challenges, and problems will often bubble up to the surface in a natural and playful way, which makes them much easier to talk about together. Also, it's sometimes easier for your child to understand and learn social skills when they see social situations acted out with hand puppets. Skills like taking turns, showing empathy, and helping one another can be easily explained and shown with hand puppets.
4. And of course, hand puppets are great for supporting your child's language development. You can talk to your child through the puppet, encourage them to repeat words and continue the story, all of which supports their language development.
And hand puppets have tons of other benefits too…

Suitable for ages 0 mos. to 5 yrs.

Playing with hand puppets allows your child to practise understanding and telling a story with a beginning and an end. This is a useful skill which can be practised by telling a story again and again and preferably talking about it along the way, asking questions, and adding your own touch to the story.

When children are learning to understand stories, physical props are a great help. With hand puppets, your child can play with telling stories. In addition, they're a really good way to make a story or fairy tale come alive. The storyteller is not hidden behind a book but gets to be active and in close contact with the little listeners, who get to join in the story instead of being passive.

Hand puppets are great to use at home and in nurseries and preschools – or for people with special needs or dementia.

Develops essential skills that really benefit your child's well-being and ability to learn new things:
