Hand Puppet 28 cm - Kangaroo
Put on a puppet show about a strong kangaroo who wants to learn to hop backwards. It soon learns that kangaroos can’t do that — but also discovers all the other things it can do, and that it’s okay not to be brilliant at everything. Â
The kangaroo can play many other roles too, so it definitely deserves a place in your child’s hand puppet troupe.
What makes this product special
Toys for learning through play
Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.
Every toy at ToyAcademy should:
• support learning through play
• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with

Measures 28 x 14 x 10 cm.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 a useful skill which can be improved by telling a story again and again.
Hand puppets can bring storytelling to life. The storyteller does not get hidden away 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 childcare centres – or for people with dementia or special needs.
