Hand Puppet 30 cm - Gretel
Gretel is a much-loved character from a classic fairy tale, but as a hand puppet, she invites your child to retell the story their way. Who knows, maybe your child has a brand new perspective on what went on in the witch's candy house. Â
Gretel is one of the earliest female superheroes: she outsmarts the wicked witch, pushes her into the oven, and saves poor Hansel.

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
