Hand Puppet - Crocodile

There are so many children's songs and rhymes about crocodiles, so it's a must-have in any hand puppet collection.

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.

The activity is great for your child's well-being and ability to learn:

• Gives your child all kinds of opportunities to unleash their imagination.
• Here, your child's fine motor skills really come into play.

Measures 29 x 25 x 5,5 cm.
Suitable for children aged 0 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 an important skill which can be practised by repeating the storytelling game over and over and adding your own touch to the story.

Hand puppets can bring a fairy tale or story to life. The storyteller is not 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 with your child and in childcare centres – or for people with special needs, such as dementia.
