Hand Puppet - Monkey

This cheeky monkey loves to munch on bananas and is full of jokes and tall tales.

These sweet hand puppets from Belgian brand Beleduc are made from high-quality fabric, and they wrap snugly around the wrist for a secure fit.

Use the hand puppets when it’s time to talk about fun (or tricky) topics, or when story time calls for a little extra magic to bring the fairy tale to life.

When it’s an animal or a fantasy creature doing the storytelling, it’s even easier for kids to use their imagination and immerse themselves in the story.

Along with finger puppets, hand puppets are also perfect for puppet theatre. Among other things, you can use hand puppets to stimulate and develop your child's language through playful learning - maybe there's a little rabbit who also struggles to say “FFFF” without spit flying.

Machine washable on a delicate cycle.

The activity helps your child develop skills and is great for your child's well-being:

• Encourages your child to let their imagination fly.
• Here, fine motor skills are developed.

Suitable for ages 0 mos. to 5 yrs.

Play with hand puppets allows your child to practise understanding and telling a story with a beginning and an end. This is an important skill which can be strengthened 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.

Hand puppets can make a story or fairy tale come alive. The reader telling the story is not hidden away behind a book but gets to be active and in 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 preschools and nurseries – or for people with dementia or special needs.
