Hand Puppet 30 cm - Princess

In old fairy tales, princesses often lead dependent lives with little personal freedom. But now, your child can decide for herself whether she really wants to marry some prince at the age of 16?
What if she's the one who wins the prince and half the kingdom after slaying the dragon? 
Or the whole kingdom without the prince?

Hand puppets are a wonderful way to spark reflection through play and start fantastic conversations with your child.

This puppet is 30 cm tall, and she may be a bit large for tiny preschooler hands.

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

• Gives your child plenty of opportunities to unleash their imagination.
• Great for role play, where little ones practise taking turns to lead and finding their own place in the game. This benefits your child's empathy and ability to work with others.

Measures 30 x 18 x 9 cm.
Suitable for children aged 18 mos. to 5 yrs.

Playing with hand puppets lets your child practise telling and understanding a story with a beginning and an end. This is a very important skill which can be improved by telling a story again and again.

When children are learning to understand stories, physical props are a great help. Hand puppets let children play with telling stories. What's more, they're a really nice way to bring a fairy tale or story to life. The storyteller does not get hidden behind a book but gets to be in active contact with the little listeners, who can actively participate in the story instead of just listening passively.

Hand puppets are great to use at home and in daycare – or for people with special needs, such as dementia.
