Hand Puppet - Basset Hound
Adorable Basset Hound that your child will love playing with.
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.
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 24 x 26 x 4,5 cm.Suitable for children aged 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 a useful skill which can be practised by telling a story again and again.
Physical props can be a great help in teaching children to understand stories and storytelling. A hand puppet allows your child practise telling stories. In addition, they're a very good way to bring a fairy tale or story to life. The storyteller does not get hidden behind a book but gets to be active and in close contact with the listening children, who become participants instead of passive listeners.
Hand puppets are great to use at home and in childcare centres – or for people with special needs or dementia.
