Hand Puppet 24 cm - Wolf

Is a wolf always the bad guy? Or could even the fiercest, most villainous wolf have a softer side beneath the fur? This wolf hand puppet opens up conversations about leadership in a group, with all its ups and downs.

Maybe the one who teases or dominates has a hidden reason for doing so?

Did you know that wolves are highly social animals who communicate with each other through vocalisations, which include howls, barks, growls, and whines? Among other things, vocalisations serve to find and alert other wolves and reinforce social bonds within a pack. It shows just how complex and emotional these animals’ interactions can be.

Here, important skills are engaged, which are great for your child's well-being and ability to learn new things:

• Encourages your child to let their imagination fly.
• Perfect for role play, where children practise finding their own place in the game and taking turns to lead. This benefits your child's social skills.
• Strengthens your child's language understanding and development.

Measures 24 cm.
Suitable for ages 0 mos. to 5 yrs.

Play with hand puppets lets your child practise telling and understanding a story with a beginning and an end. This is an important skill which can be strengthened by talking about a story while you're telling it, and telling it over and over.

Hand puppets can bring a fairy tale or story to life. The reader telling the story does not get hidden behind a book but gets to be in active contact with the little listeners, who get to join in the story instead of being passive.

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